3-Hour Tour

Very odd day yesterday. (still today, but it's 1:15AM) I got up early to study for an exam. That should make you proud, dad. I went to class, then to a meeting, then to my exam. I decided to drive down to see my grandparents in Baytown for the evening, a 3 hour drive. I wanted to take my grandfather to see The Passion, but he didn't want to. So I just ate dinner with them and watched TV with them instead. Then I drove back to Austin cause I had to be back the next day. Randomly ended up picking up a hitch-hiker heading to Austin. That will scare you, mom.
Well, Daniel Kornguth ended up being a really interesting guy. He talked my ear off the whole 3 hours back and kept me awake. He happened to be a yankee, but it is always refreshing to meet some one who is so completely different from you, but with whom you can still have an intellectually stimulating conversation. We talked about history, politics, religion, music, traveling, etc. The usual stuff. I dropped him off at a hotel with a copy 'A Grief Observed' by C.S. Lewis which I had just finished reading. It'll give him something to do while he's waiting for his next ride.

Very cool day.
