Thursday...huge rain showers...really muddy road outside...matroid class where I've discovered that I did too few exercises...lunch with Carlos and Irene...afternoon of very slow progress...mccf Bible study with 8 people...dinner at Border City (at least that's my translation). Friday...once again, unable to find lunch buddies, which was pretty frustrating...afternoon of extremely slow progress...a nap to restore my jetlagging...evening love feast of strange food. Today...should be off to Toronto.

It's only in a conversation with Carlos and Tony could we, within a couple of minutes, seamlessly take the topic from Macs to the expanding universe.

It's kind of disheartening that for once, I want to follow a commandment of Jesus, only to hit a wall that is Francis...sigh...
