for the first time i cut down our christmas tree this year. it was lovely, we drove out into the corrolitos hills to a little organic tree farm owned by a ucsc literature professor. she was very nice, it all smelled delicious and the afternoon light perfectly lit up the surrounding hillsides. trogdor ran around trying to eat rabbits and my brother was actually satisfied with one of the trees.
the prof and i were chatting and she asked what i was studying when i mentioned i was back in town from school. i got one of the two questions that come back at me every time i say theology. the first is: ‘What are you going to do with that?’
the second is: ‘Oh, are you going to be a priest/minister?’
actually, she technically asked if i was going to be a ministress…
Did she use that exact word, ministress, because that would be awesome.

Actually, I don’t think I have your email. Send me a message, I will send you my snail mail. Incidentally, I will be moving back to Princeton in February.
