Wow, these posts are going to get sparingly spare soon enough. Things will still be happening for sure, but I know that I will be lacking time and energy to write many. Also, there wasn't anything of note to note on Sunday, but today was good.
Today we were supposed to have a "mock interview" with a rep's aide, but he forgot about us. Some aide... Anyway, I had the afternoon open, so I visited Betty McCollum's office! Unfortunately, she was not there, but I got to write her a note, see her office, and sign up for a Capitol tour. I then took the Metro, ALL BY MYSELF, to Target. I could have cried because of how much I felt at home. So I got some crap at Target, and then I ate at Panda Express. You know, their food is ok. It's like someone making homemade Chinese food the first time, using the Betty Crocker cookbook. Nevertheless, its fairly cheap, so I will continue to eat there. I'll just bring my own MSG, thank you very much.
From there I took the metro, ALL BY MYSELF, back to home, where we had class. The subject was "Ideas have legs, why institutions matter." We learned about the importance of studying institutions, which we classify as either organizations, rules, or offices. Even institutions have their own narratives, so Peter Baker sez. Then it was the discussion group. We talked about postmodernity, faith, reason, and doubt. Then it was the community dinner. I love the community dinner, because its lots of free food.
From there the guys planned to play football on the Mall. I only went along to take pictures. However, upon getting to the mall, I discovered my battery was dead (it worked before I left). Lamo. So, I went back home, but I did stop at Starbucks for a Signature Hot Chocolate. It was watery. Here's to you Matt and Tim, the best baristas in Binnesota!

Hey John.
Sorry to hear about your battery. It would have been fun to see the pictures. Well it's just great to hear from you. While your busyness may affect the length of your posts, I hope it does not affect the frequency.
I would definitely like to talk with you about the analysis of institutional narratives when you get back. That seems like an intrigueing and valuable area of research.
We rolled out the first newsletter since you've gone - There have been a lot of changes at the Surute since you went crazy -(I mean went to Washington - sorry The Pink Panther came to mind). If you care to see it I posted it on the blog (also at scribd). I did make a big mistake and forgot to put the worship service on the calendar for the whole month of February. Hopefully people will not think it has been canceled.
