This is the Day, This is the Day This is the day that I will get a new bicycle. I have entrusted kind Schwinny to a good soul, and bid him fare thee well. Today I will enter the world of road-bike goodness to improve my commute and allow me entrance into the sport of cycling. I hope to purchase the above Trek […] One response August 7, 2008
[story 1] Christian Associates @ Sopron, Hungary I spent last week in Sopron, Hungary with the incredibles from Christian Associates International (CA), the European-focused mission that I work with. Christian Associates is celebrating 40 years of their history, which is deeply rooted in the Jesus Movement of the 1960s.

We Covered A Lot of Ground in July Too bad Google wouldn’t let me draw my driving directions from La Plata, Maryland, as well. We went a long way in July, honey.

When I return, […] 2 responses July 19, 2008

[Aunt Nelly Does Backflips Through the Living Room] I just received an email from Prague that makes me want to (learn how to) do backflips. Our dear Jane is now home safe with her new baby, Sofia! Sofia Elizabeth was born on Saturday July 12th, at 3pm. She measures in at 3.3 kg and 51cm. If you didn’t know, Jane and I were […] One response July 14, 2008
Bemvinda Portugal is as unassuming as I remembered her. I’ve been welcomed back into the arms of strong jasmine, eighty cent coffees, and unpretentious beauty. It will be nice to perhaps move back here, one day. 2 responses July 14, 2008
I Love Too Many Time Zones Here I am in London on a heinous seven-hour lay-over on my way to Lisbon. I have that happy nausea feeling that comes from the sketch-sleep you get on aeroplanes, or from collegiate all-nighters. (Or maybe it is the man sitting five, six, seven, eight seats away from me with his shoes off. His […] 2 responses July 13, 2008
