San Clemente VII

Tuesday, December 4, 2007 - I worked yesterday from 5:30am until 7:00pm.. A gnarly busy day. Toward the end of the day Henry came back in Starbucks and we chatted for a while. He left to go to the beach and said he was going to swing by my campsite afterwards. After he left, my friend Chester strolled in.. Though he's taking finals right now and is massively busy, we still chatted for a bit. He then said about a 5 minute prayer for me, I then let him get to his studies. My little brasilian bombshell called me while I was talking to Chester - it was great to hear her voice. I keep thinking of the list we made before she left.. We had talked about so many different things we wanted to do together, ranging from visiting Scotland to teaching me to dance Forro to teaching her to snowboard, and on and on. We compiled a list of probably 40-50 items. I can't wait to pick up where we left off.

Back at the campsite Henry came by around 7:00 and marveled at the view.. We grilled my staple of salmon and onions; I think he really needed the escape. We talked about theology, science, astronomy, among many other things. He told me he's had 3 moments of true clarity in his life - once when he first saw his wife, second when his son was born, and third was then and there.
