It's late and I need to sleep, but I wanted to put a few swirling thoughts down.

Today was Greg's funeral and burial. It was both heartfelt and heartbreaking. He was so obviously loved by so many, but it wasn't enough to save him from himself. And as I poured my share of dirt over his coffin, I could only think, "Oh, Greg."

Myung told me two unrelated-but-related things: first, his talk did not go well, and second, Anson moved out. It seems like we're either searching without finding or losing what we'd found.

At the funeral, they read the twenty-third Psalm. I couldn't help but think about the last line, and how goodness and mercy are so often only clearly seen like shining beacons against a background of the darkest night.

Oh, God, come and light my way.

You seemed tired when I saw you last night too. Then again, you always look tired.

I think you would like the new Harry Potter movie. I've heard people as we were walking out of the theater saying it's the best one so far. It had a really awkward dance scene that you would enjoy very much. : )

Illinois lost. It's better to lose early and get it together at the end. Still so early in the season...
