Great Day

Today is a great day. I spent an unscheduled hour + on the phone with Tony Jones (pictured together with Mike a couple of summers ago in France) this morning. It was supposed to be a ten-minute touch-base (about this April Fool's Day funny) but we talked and I puttered around outside my mini-van in front of Broadway Cafe smelling coffee and talking animatedly. Great stuff.

I then spent a couple of hours in my office nailing down thoughts for this week-ends worship gathering and Jesus' sending of the twelve. Poor Tim has also spent the better part of an afternoon tutoring me, via iChat, about Photoshop and html coding.

Then I jumped in said mini-van and drove to Lawrence. I was on a mission for a couple of things. First, the Barry Moser show I posted about earlier is in its last couple of days at Signs of Life. I just saw it and it is great. A number of the pieces have sold and those that haven't are outside of my price range. But I am not greedy. My friend Kelly saw the show and generously gave me a copy of the Pennyroyal Bible with all the illustrations in the text. What a gift. Thanks, Kelly.

I also had to stop by Liberty Hall to purchase some concert tickets. The Shins play on May 8. I can't wait. Liberty Hall is such a great place to see a show. I saw Nickel Creek there sometime last year.

As for the rest of the day, I am going to enjoy this beautiful day, sitting outside in front of Signs of Life and dig out from under an e-mail backlog. Have a great week-end.

Yep, I agree! That Tony guy looks a little sickly but those other two guys are real studs.

Tim, I was just around the corner - I wish I'd have checked this sooner - I would have been happy to distract you from your e-mail backlog.

Hey Rob _ I'm sorry I missed you...I've been meaning to tell you that I enjoy your web-site a lot, especially the photographs. In fact I've downloaded a few images and the files pic is my current desktop...cheers.

If you're from Minnesota, isn't pasty a state of being? I told Doug, on his way to Key Largo, that he better slather on the protection or he will be one big Scandinavian sun abomination.

Thanks Tim, I'm glad you enjoy seeing the photos as much as I enjoy taking them. Next time you're coming to Lawrence to sit around, and you're willing to be bothered - announce it a couple days early and I'll do my best to bother you.

Dude,

You don't know me and I mean no offense or anything -But to think that that you & Tony Jones had a planned 10 minute conversation about Adam Cleaveland's childish and pathetic blog is pretty sad. I have as much humor as the next guy but Adam's need for attention is at 9th grade level at best. To each his own, I guess. Rock on.
