Forgot to mention

I saw Hemingway's house in Key West! It was pretty cool, he raised 6 toed cats, and there are still about 60 of them on his property. Oh, and I didn't mean to make Goldwater's relitive out to be fanatical anti-Clinton, he was a Philosophy teacher and seemed really bright.
Peace,

Back from the Ship

Well, road around the Atlantic for the last 7 or so days, talked with Barry Goldwater's Nephew (he was kind of fixated on Clinton's failure in Rwanda), the owner of some expensive handbag company and so on. Found out Champeign isn't my friend. Saw Mexico, the Bahammas, and a bunch of Mayan Ruins. Now I'm in Daytona Beach, going to see JIMMY CARTER's place sometime this week! Then going to my aunts in South Carolina. I checked out my grades, got an A- in Islamic Mysticism, an A in Jacksonian History as well as Creative Writing, and got a B in the Cultural History of the Enlightenment. Finished Last Temptation of Christ, Amazing book. Reading Living Jesus, by Luke Timothy Johnson (he spoke about Paul at Central a while ago), basicly it is a defense of traditional Christianity against the Historical Jesus movement. Long short of the argument is that because Jesus is raised and present in the church Jesus is still revealing his will, and therefore the "historical" thing is not a closed book yet. Very interesting, I'm liking it.
Peace,
Chris
