lex here, representing from the grocery front. first let me comment on steve's thoughts: i agree with you, friend. the first thing i thought when all of the media frenzy began was, deadliest massacre ever? why do we feel the need to quantify this disaster? and in such a way that inevitably makes less of other serious situations worldwide, as well as locally. the other thread of thought that pertains to this is the sermon i heard this morning. the NT reading was from acts, about paul's conversion on the road to tarsus. the priest wove in the tragedies of the week, wisely identifying the idea that we all have the capacity as humans to do terrible things, and we all have the capacity to do good as well. (heather, it made me think of fromm!)
to somewhat suddenly switch gears, im continuing to work at trader joes and at starbucks. this doesnt leave me with much free time, which doesnt bother me all that much, considering i have a limited social circle. i'm surprised at how much i enjoy work. it is actually a good combination of mindless lifting and stocking, and interaction with people. im actually considering trying to transfer to TJs in danvers in the early fall. yes, most likely i will be making my way back to the north shore in september. having said that, i m really enjoying life here for what it is. its funny, this year is not at all what i thought it would be. its ten times harder. but im enjoying it. i was able to go to the north shore for easter (it was so great to see some of you!) and was really refreshed both by the community and the fact that it was (and still is) easter. i came back to IL refreshed and with a renewed awareness of God's grace, honestly.
im off to pick up my dad at the airport. love you all.
cheers, lex

Lex, that is great that you will be back this fall. I will not be back until january and I don't know what I am doing after MESP but have a few ideas. It is great to hear that you are having fun with the food industry. Any thoughts on the graduate school industry still? I remember practicing GRE vocab with you in the basement of the catering business in Beverly.
keep in touch. I never see you on Skype but sometimes you are on but busy. We should chat. Any possiblity you would be out east for may 22-june 15?
have a great day lex
