Back at it...

We're back in the saddle. Mag is off at work right now, and I'm at home, having just finished class for the day. We had a wonderful time in Texas (many thanks to our gracious hosts), and found it just the respite we needed before hitting the ground again. Of course, we didn't fall into bed until 3:30 a.m. after we arrived, but it was well worth it. The seminary is either lazy or loves Thanksgiving, because my last class until after the Thanksgiving break is tomorrow. Of course there is the American Academy of Religion annual meeting that most of my professors are going to. It's a huge gathering every year of people from all over the U.S. This year it is being held in San Antonio, for which I am jealous. It also will feature a meeting of the Reinhold Niebuhr Society, something I aspire to join someday, if I can attain the level of nerdiness required.

It's a beautiful Fall day here with temps around 50 right now, but 26 when I got up this morning. Calvin is loving life, especially since finding a squirrel tail in the middle of the yard that he's pretty sure is a result of his handiwork. Mag comes home tomorrow. We don't have major plans for the weekend, except to get ready for Hank and Suz's arrival next Wednesday. Fortunately, we've had the major ball of hair roto-rooted from our shower drain, so they won't be ankle deep in water when they shower. Sorry, parents, you weren't given such luxurious treatment when you visited.

That's all for now...time for some serious thesis thinking/reading/writing.

Love,

the Burks
