I've made a great new friend here in Durham. Last night, she and I had dinner with my advisor and his wife, and we talked about community, the kingdom, and living faithfully. At one point, she quipped, "Well, community is basically a necessity to keep you from disappearing up your own arse."
Exactly.

i love it!
When i stopped laughing, I began to suspect that perhaps my back troubles have a cause . . .
In some ways, kids do the same thing, right??
What a great statement...glad to hear that things are going well in Durham, wish that we could be there. We're eager to have you back home, the wunchie misses you a lot and so do I. Take care...Billy
