[one] This year. Graduation is just around the corner (less than three months now!) and my focus is starting to shift away from writing “another paper” to “ooh! finishing up my thesis!” God only knows what’s around the corner, but I don’t doubt that it will be good.

[two] We’re carrying some new books! Okay, so that happens all the time, but I’m really excited to be carrying select titles from the Leaders in Action series. Especially Glory and Honor, Greg Wilbur’s biography of Johann Sebastian Bach. I like all the titles we’re stocking (they’re solid biographies, especially good for family reading), but for some reason the Bach one really speaks to me, if only because musicians are rarely recognized as “leaders.” Anyway, all the books are well worth checking out if you haven’t already.

[three] Summer is coming. I can feel it. Or actually, just see it. We’re finally starting to escape from the snow (even though it still lies all around us in crispy, brown-ish piles). Soon it will be spring, and no one will be asking me why I’m not wearing a coat.

[four] The end of school also means the beginning of more reading. I’m already salivating at the thought of getting to read more Auden and Rosenstock-Huessy. Oh yes, oh yes! Nerddom eagerly awaits.

[five] Laura and Austin get back tomorrow, which means that the office will again be lively, Austin and I can resume our “debates,” and someone else besides me will be posting here.
