Quick update

I'm trying to meet deadlines for two papers for which I am lead author and one paper where I'm advising a grad student, which is the explanation for my sparse postings this week. That, and, Christy got a job! I'm thrilled to no end for her new opportunity but it adds a constraint to all available time in the family until Peter starts school in August. I guess it eases up a little since Peter determined that he's not that into t-ball and would rather not stay on the team. We pretty much agree that he's not ready for that yet and I'll be working with him to build the skill and discipline that he'll need to play next year.

My latest news is that I joined a gym. I've been a member of one gym or another most of the time since 1999 but this one far outshines them all. Besides about 30 treadmills, each with their own personal TV, they seem to have about every piece of lifting equipment known to man, and a way cool rock climbing wall. What surprised me most, and what I will likely never use, is the full size billiard table in the men's locker room. My new membership came with 3 free training sessions and my trainer just about killed me tonight. I feel great right now but I expect I'll be cursing him in the morning.

I hope to blog about the role of the Law in the Christian life, as soon as I have a few minutes to put the thoughts together carefully. For now, you can read what my college classmate friend Christie (no relation to Christy :) wrote on the subject earlier this week.
