I was thinking of everybody when Katie and I were planning our T.S. Eliot reading grouping. We're hosting a group at our place every Saturday morning for breakfast and Eliot's Christian work. We're hosting the group through Intervarsity Graduate Christian Fellowship (Katie is still the president and I'm still the secretary). I want to take us through Eliot's oft-neglected Christian works - I've been dying to read The Four Quartets collectively, as well as Eliot's "poetic dramas." All this is congruent with my modernism class and general thesis focus.
Speaking of Intervarsity, Katie and I attend a colloquium in Gainesville last Saturday about evangelism. Randy Newman, of the Falls Church was the speaker. It was excellent. Very practical and realistic ways of sharing the gospel.
We have to stay here for Spring Break - already we're in the saving money mode. Joshka is coming to visit at least. Brooks and Dana, I hope skiiing went well. Dana, don't worry - I fell on my butt multiple times skiing in Tahoe with Katie and family during Christmas. Watch out rubber legs and intermediate runs!

The Eliot group sounds great... you guys inspire me. Our blue table could use some regular literary discussion.
Have you ever read John Donne's sermons?
No ... One of my good friends here is a big fan. I'm guessing you like them? We did do some of Donne's poetry last Spring in a reading group.
