Baylor football stinks, but we like Jennifer and Ed...
And after a brief interruption by Labor Day, it's back to the regular week. I trust all had a good, long weekend. We enjoyed getting to see Ed and Jennifer on Saturday when they came out to the house. We took them on a brief tour of Princeton and showed them the university, although we never made it over to the seminary campus. After a quick bite at P.J.'s Pancake House (thank you, Wagners), they headed back to Summit to catch a train with Ed's parents to a French restaurant for dinner. We ate salad. Sunday night we made the trek to Summit to eat with Ed's parents, uncle, and childhood friend (as well as Ed and Jennifer).For Labor Day we really couldn't decide if we wanted to take the train to NYC, and after enough indecision, resorted to taking a long walk into the town of Princeton and walking up and down the streets watching people. It was an interesting gathering yesterday. Lots of vacationers, a balloon man, and several people campaigning to "win back the White House." I forbade Margaret from engaging in political discourse with them.
There really isn't that much more to report. Orientation begins on Friday and runs through next Tuesday. There is a retreat on Sunday that is optional. I am not particularly fond of retreats, so I declined. Classes begin a week from tomorrow.
Drop us a line and let us know what is happening. And let's start the petition to fire everyone at Baylor, faculty and staff, and just start over from scratch. It's the only way they'll ever have another winning football sesaon, or just a win in a football season.
Love,
J&M

Thanks for the informative update on your week-end. Too bad the Bears had to psych out the remaining competition by purposely playing poorly on Saturday night! Therefore, my early season prediction (5-0 start) should be amended to read 5-0 with one pre-season loss in the opener. We have to sneak up on the competition.
We had a quiet week-end. I took Amy and Rachel to see "Benji off the leash". Had a great time with them, especially with the great dogs that starred in the movie. Turns out that one of Ken Stone's law partners is friends with the man who produced the movie. Both dogs in the movie were rescued from the humane society--one in Mississippi and one in Chicago. At any rate a cute movie.
We had catfish after that with 12 of us at the grandparents house. We also used the occasion to celebrate Uncle John's 54th birthday (actual date was yesterday). There was no PM church Sunday night. Fred and Rebekah really enjoyed hearing from you and Margaret Sunday night.
Monday was pretty quiet. My headcold decided to pay me a return visit, so I did almost nothing yesterday, and started early doing that!
The week is off to a slow start. Tomorrow I leave for a one day meeting in Berlin, Germany. I'll return on Saturday afternoon.
Hope all is well. The daily devotional has proven difficult to subscribe thru our in-house firewall. I'm still working on it, but have not had much success.
Thinking about you two, keeping your job search and upcoming class term in our prayers daily.
Love you two,
Ken & Sara
ed and i suffered through head shots for the church directory last nite. “tilt your head and turn it just a little more. now turn your chin towards the back wall. now take your right arm and encircle your shoulder. bring your forehead to the front. now tilt your head just a little more. no that’s too much. a little less. yes. that’s it! now hold it.” click! needless to say, ed and i looked more like muppets than humans. don’t expect these as stocking stuffers this year.
