Bit of Ivory

But barely. My family is doing Education Week down at BYU for our family vacation this year, so I only have enough time to check my e-mail at night– that is, if I want to see any of the Olympics at all. I’m borrowing my sister’s laptop (named Lord Peter, her desktop is called Wimsey) to type this up so I can watch the end of the men’s gymnastics final. In the meantime, I’m exhausted, although walking around BYU campus all day with a backpack is an excellent warmup for when grad school starts in a week and a half :O. It’s good stuff though. Have gotten lots of great spiritual and doctrinal insights.

Nothing on Ginny yet. Le sigh.

I’ve now finished O Jerusalem and A Letter of Mary. Glad I didn’t take your advice tp skip the latter, Teri, or I would have missed the cameo of one Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey. And a Tolkien mention. Am ashamed to say that I didn’t recognize poor Lord Peter for who he was until the monocle appeared. Holmes would be positively ashamed of me. As would Lord Peter, come to think of it.

Now, must sleep. We’re leaving at 10 to 8 tomorrow, and I’m dying of exhaustion already.
