I was walking around DC yesterday and accidentally saw Kai and Sophie walked out of the library. I decided to follow them, and when I caught up, only Kai remained, so I decided to scare him a little. It was kind of fun, actually...anyway, that's the exciting part of the day which I had trouble doing work.

One big disadvantage of working at school is the lack of good options for lunch. I simply couldn't make myself eat the kinds of things they sell at C&D and DC food court. If I want to go to the plaza, then I really don't want to go alone. However, there is very little chance of finding somebody to go with me. So...I often go hungry at school, and that wasn't really pleasant. With that said, I'm working at home today...I think that might be a bit dangerous...

Laura sent me and Ed an email that included the following horrific two-word phrase: "Uncle Martin." Nooooooooo! And that caught on to other people now...sigh... On the slightly bright side, I'm now apparently in the same generation as Samuel and Michael...so yeah. Laura was leading the Bible study yesterday, and there are a couple of things she said which I'll record here as "Wisdoms of Laura": (1) She used this metaphor for spiritual training..."If you want to lift more weight, then you need to train in running." (2) On the effectiveness of reading the scripture in public: "It works 10 out of 5 times."
