Chuh-ching

Hydrology test yesterday went great! Afterward, David Syruk (Staff for Grad. IV) and I had some coffee and shared a scone. Our topics ranged from starting a fellowship at a few universities in Germany to atonement in Marks gospel. David has been a great blessing in helping me remained centered and balanced while starting grad school.

I had this emailed to me, but decided not to forward it because I don't like to forward stuff unless it's really, really good. This one is really good, so I held back.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2005 when...
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this>>>message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.


Finally, a quote worth quoting... David Syruk sent it to me this afternoon.
It's from a chemistry professor at Cornell as told by Harry Lee Poe in his CHRISTIANITY IN THE ACADEMY(Eerdmans)--

"[B]iologists worship Darwin in a way that physicists and chemists do not regard Newton and Fermi." (143).

Oh, and Mom, thanks for the pic of Matt, it's great! He's a stud, does he have a girlfriend yet???
