I am off for a week in California. Until three months ago, I lived my entire life either in Israel or in California. But I haven’t been in California for four years now. That’s more interesting because that’s where my employer is located, and we had family there until a few months ago. I’m going out to see friends and visit the college in Santa Clarita for the first few days, and then will spend the rest of the time in San Diego at the annual conference for the Evangelical Theological Society. I have not had many chances to attend that because we have been living in Israel. Along the way I have a few important meetings. I am most looking forward to a couple of get-togethers with previous IBEX semester groups. I turned in a research paper yesterday and so will enjoy the trip without that hanging over my head. I have another one to write, but I don’t need to start that until I return.
Hey…if you want to hook up, email me your dates and maybe I can make something work. It would be fun! no pressure though.
You should see us…we’re all so excited we can’t contain it. The get-together is pretty much the topic on everyone’s lips at this point whenever we see a fellow FA’06er. I hope you realize how you’ve single-handedly turned a regular weekend into a semester highlight. :-) Now if only your whole family could come… :-)
I wish I could be there too…or you here, or something like that. Have a great time!
Hey, the get-togethers are what we’re most excited about too. See you soon!
OHHH!! I wish I weren’t in D.C. so I could come to the IBEX-people-reunite-with-Todd party too! Enjoy your time at TMC! :o)
Todd, I spent all day Thursday at the ASOR conference–you weren’t there, were you? (I’ll be blogging about it later today.) Will you be at any of the SBL lectures, or are you strictly ETS this year?
