Devin and I have various friends who have various adventures that make us feel very nearly envious. Okay, that actually do make me envious, in a Christian sort of way.
Our friends, the Coopers, are spending the year living in Cambridge, where Kody is studying the Summa of St. Thomas. In Latin. Because he’s just dedicated like that.
And, Devin’s friend, Gerardo, enjoyed very rustic elk hunting in the Rockies last week and got to savor lovely things that I only dream of now that I live in Austin, things like snow and mountains and yellow aspen trees. So jealous.
Thanks, Garcias and Coopers, for reminding us that there is a very big world beyond our front door. I can’t wait until Devin’s company transfers him to the branch in Germany. Or India. Or Romania. Ideally, someplace that gets snow. Okay, I guess India’s out.
