I made an album about the new dog, here it is. (You should see it)

John 12: 24-26
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

I went to the Grand Canyon this last weekend. The albums are on Facebook.

I just realized I have a slight obsessive-compulsive habit of always needing to empty the hole-puncher. Every time I see even one dot of paper inside it, I have to step over to the side of the circulation desk (I work at a library) and empty it. I suppose there could be worse obsessions.

I went to New York for spring break. Eleven students and our teacher (and her husband Ernie) went to participate in the National Model United Nations. Most of the information concerning the trip is available in the Facebook album(s) I will prepare sometime these next few weeks, when I have time. Here are a few of the pictures I like from the experience:




This is the Brooklyn Bridge. We crossed it the previous day, but that was in the daylight and Chad Clanton wanted to go again for more pictures. The following night, he, Samantha, and I crossed it again and I took this at 12:34a.m., March 25, 2007. I took alot of pictures that night, but I wasn't that pleased with the majority. This one looked nice, though. After this picture, we eventually went BACK over the bridge (read: walked). We got to see some interesting stuff that week, like a guy having a livid conversation with a steel I-beam in the Subway.

Anyway...





Sam and I are sharing, secretly, whilst representing Guinea in the General Assembly (yes, we're sitting in the GA council room - where no typical tours get to go!)

(and sit)

This is where the Security Council meets.

Anyway, lots more photos to be posted in facebook. My only regret is that the pictures get downsized so much.... I bought a 5mp camera for a reason, dangit!

If (any reader) likes any of those pictures especially, I will email you a full size one, just let me know.

"A specific audience." What should a person do when his words cause mayhem? I need a gift - the gift of being able to say exactly what I mean and nothing more. How do I say exactly what I mean to say and nothing more?

I'm beginning to think that if a relationship was literature, it should be non-fiction. (I am talking about the development of one's dating relationship.) Like a documentary, it would clearly denote when lapses into poetry or song occur, proceeded by an explanation or a citation. A metaphor is beautiful but interpretation is crucial.

Is there even healthy interaction when one's statements become open for interpretation?
