I made the entertainment pages again, what can I say. Mom must be proud. A rather large, awkward photo of me standing outside a concert hall, hands awkwardly holding phone, camera, bag. (Does anyone else have issues knowing what their body is doing? For me, my hands and wrists are my deviant appendages-- I'm never quite sure what they're up to.)

New topic of great rejoicing:
I'm going to the mountains! I'm going to the mountains! Yay wafer-thin air, bumpety bus ride, night sky chalk full o' stars! I love the mountains, don't get those much back home. I'm forfeiting the Taj to go, but I don't think I'll regret it. I need some God-made goodness.
That's in 2 weeks, so I have plenty of motivation to work hard.

Another celebratory commentary:
Spent the day with delightful folk at the church, helping w/ some publication stuff. They've got the greatest community, heartily fun, genuine, and kind. I pray that it grows and grows to include people who desperately need that. And that God would make them even bigger dreamers. India's full of dreamy floaters and pragmatic doers-- how powerful to have the church be made of big-dreaming doers!
