June 11, 2007 by wilmington.
I almost wrote that Thursday, June 7 was “the end of a chapter” in the increasingly strange and surprising life of your devoted Ambassador. But that’s not accurate. It’s more like the end of Book 2 or Book 3 in the whole series.
So: June 11, 2007 - Book the Third - “In which the intrepid Ambassador awakes from the first full night’s sleep in almost 5 weeks to find that he is on the other side of high school/middle school teaching and is now a Ph.D. candidate.”
Upcoming in this space: updates from Book III, observations and hopefully discussions about theology and film (especially since three of my future professors, Thomas Hibbs, Michael Foley, and Ralph Wood have written on that intersection), thoughts on my frequently-mentioned-but-never-explained obsession with Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin novels (the basis for the “Master and Commander” film), and something about the current jazz scene.
Recent enjoyments: the films “The Prestige” and “Stranger Than Fiction,” Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nelly Furtado CD’s made by former students, O’Brian’s “The Wine Dark Sea,” the Ireland v. Spain quarterfinal from the 2002 World Cup, my son yelling “You want a piece o’ me?!” as he and his stuffed animals pounce me on my bed, and creating the word ‘enjoyments.’
