I went to NYC this past weekend with Jen and her friend from Oregon, bacon aficionado Dave Reed. We went to the Guggenheim, which made me want to slash funding to the arts, Lombardis, with their delicious pizza, and the always acceptable Gingerman. I got to see the first triumvirate of Katie, Bess and Lara (for times ranging between 20 minutes and two hours), as well as the oft rumored Mr Wendell. I slept for an hour and a half, lost 4 pounds despite eating until engorged, and continued failing in my attempts to locate someone who doesn’t adore Jen. We went to Redeemer in NYC to hear Tim Keller – who did not disappoint – preach, and neither got hit by cars nor hit anyone else with our car. By most measurable criteria it was a successful weekend, though I can’t think of any single story that came out of it.
Addendum
You’ll be happy to hear that The New Calvinism is being acknowledged even but Times as one of the new big things in the world today.

“We went to the Guggenhiem, which made me want to slash funding to the arts.”
LOL!
What was Tim Keller’s sermon about, btw? Last time I saw him, it was on “taking responsibility for the level of joy in one’s life.”
Glad to hear that no car accidents occurred!
You know Bess, I don’t remember at this point. It was good. I forget sermons quickly, I tend to relisten to them eventually. Maybe one of the others will remember better.
You should have let me know you were in the area. I’m just a quick train ride into NYC.
Laura and I have been going to a great church, Bedford Community Church. For the first time in my life I look forward to church.
