for backpacking, although I might get another set for my desk.  They're very cute.

Tom is planning a 2-week backpacking trip on Isle Royale, so he's "gearing up".  Otherwise, not much is going on.  I've been listening to the Mark Driscoll series on Ruth...I generally like Driscoll, but this series is telling me that sometimes "expository" is not all it's cracked up to be...

The series is well worth listening to - Ruth is one of the most beautiful love stories in history.
