Surreality

Surreal (adj): Marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream

It all adds up. Sitting here in the hotel office listening to my friends down below enjoying their own company, receiving emails this morning about next year's debate camps, knowing that soon I will have to leave this and them, and those wonderful places I was this year. Such wonderful people, and yet after regionals I may never see any of them all together again! Even seeing Andrew's description of life in the Corps -- is this what I want to do, and what will happen to these people should I do the same?

Even the description my cousin gave, of going through her parents' old stuff, and seeing how this communication and others slowly die away (I shall send you an email, F.B.!)....

What of the reality of space and time? Imagine, one moment, frozen in time, and all that is there. Each air current in each room such as this, affecting molecules in the piece of paper lying there, and the same for every other in every room of the building, and in each building of the city, and each city of the nation, and each nation of the world, and each planet in this system, then each vast empty space, and each star -- all dictated down to the tiniest detail, the quarks, or if there is anything smaller, down to each of those.

Now take this one moment of time and stretch it to each second... of each minute of each hour of each day of each year of each millenia... How great is our Lord!!!

New month

And everybody knows that along with the new month come white rabbits...

But I'll leave off that subject, since I'm sure you're already tired of it!  Here are pictures from the recent trip to NM.  I may eventually have some pictures from this most recent National Open in Houston, but I didn't take many so don't count on it.

NM tournament and trip

I am off to do important things.  Toodles
