Alana called.I have known Alana since before I can remember. I sent her an e-mail five or six years ago. She called on Saturday and we spoke for the first time in twenty-five years. We probably won't leave it that long again.
Also on the weekend...On Saturday I saw
Prince Caspian at the movies, which was nice. I know I read
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and I know I didn't read all the Narnia books, but I don't know exactly were I fall between those two circumstances. Anyhow, I didn't know the story and it was very pretty to watch so that was fun. (The moral isn't as much fun: faith conquers all, but don't hold your breath.)
On Sunday I walked up a mountain. Not all the way, not even to in sight of the top. Other people did; good for them. I was too slow and unassertive and, frankly, pants. Shy and Matt provided breakfast and, later, lunch and afternoon tea, which was nice.
