Things are fine here--I'm sitting in seminars all day, so nothing too exciting to report besides a lot of big words and scholarly references. I hope to present my proposal tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.
I'd just like to say, for the record, that it's been colder in Birmingham lately than it has been in Prague.

I made it here without any real problems. (Well, the zipper on my suitcase did break--when it came off the belt, it was completely unzipped. Good thing I had a luggage strap on it.)
First impression: the snow is beautiful! And it doesn't feel too terribly cold or windy to me. We'll see how it goes over the next few days. :)

Dear God, please help me and my brother get along better. My brother has not been getting along with me lately, as you might know.
Leader: Who knows what Jesus did for us?
Girl: Built us houses?
Leader: Good try, but it's something else...
Girl: Oh, that's right. God built houses for us, not Jesus.

Any good ideas?

I got home today and found my front door wide open.
Hmm.
It had been that way for at least a couple of days. (I was out of town.)
Everything seemed okay... I think the last person who left forgot to lock it, and the wind blew it open.
