I love it when i come across things like that. Yay for people that aren't blinded by faith, society, and the acedemic community (specifically that era). Happy holidays and have a great new year.

You have a great Christmas/New Year too and also have a great party! So sorry I couldn't be there for your party, but it's not because I wouldn't like to, as I'm sure you know. Please tell everyone I say hello and have a great time. Maybe we can get together and catch up when I am in LaGrange the night of January 5 or the early afternoon of January 6. Let me know, k?

What a great entry. Sounds like a profound book, but what you wrote about it was very articulate. Way to be an adult. ;) :)

Way to be an adult? I don't know what that's supposed to mean....
