This is a post that represents some of the moments that I have particiapted in in the past week or two.
A couple weeks ago it snowed in Seattle.
I choose to rode my motorcyle, and then it snowed.

So did my friend Michael.

A couple days later the Eschaton broke into earth and I captured it on camera.

This weekend I went to Eagle and Child, then to Neighbours
Then I sat at Ram Brewery and watched my undergrad School, Grand Valley State University, win the Div II football championship and got in a conversation with Tom Ryan about movements — where we talked about this article by Wendell Berry. (this is certainly worth a read)
Then, last night Brooke and I went to the Mars Hill Graduate School Christmas party and had conversation with many a people, but ended up in the Jazz lounge, sipping wine, and talking with Tom and Lorenne Rasmussen (good friends of ours who moved to Idaho a couple weeks ago but were in town for the party) and Tim Soerens.
What a weird life I live.

Where in Idaho did Tom and Lorenne move? In Pullman I am only 8 miles from Idaho. It would be good to see Tom again sometime.
Todd -
They moved to downtown Boise. I’m not too familiar with Idaho geography so i don’t have a guess as to how far that is from you. Tom is working on developing a church, Sacred Space Boise. And Lorenne is working her dream job at a Leadership Institute. If you want to get in touch with Tom his email is “tom at sacred space boise d0t org”

Joel,
That is actually quite a ways from here (about six hours, so further away than Seattle). I guess I won’t be able to see in the near future.
Thanks,
Todd
