back from a relaxed, happy long weekend. daniel and i went to muncie - the only small town in indiana that i would consider living in again. spent good time with fred and molly, who served as a good sounding board regarding issues of giving up independence to join your life with someone else. (i seem to keep butting heads with that one.) we came back to a lovely little underground seminary cookout, and then i had a nice conversation with my brother who, as it turns out, is a pretty good writer. gotta work!
