OK, I am off to a New Year's retreat tonight. It's at a monastery with four Lutheran brothers, and, this weekend, about twenty young adults as well. I am almost salivating at the prospect of young adults. I wonder if I still know how to act around people my age? Hooray for my bosses letting me have tomorrow off (because I did such fantastic work for the two weeks they were gone--they have no idea how bored I was). So, no more blog entries till Sunday night, but don't let that stop you from commenting up a storm, people.
