I went to a great little coffeehouse to study yesterday and on the way home listened to part of A Prairie Home Companion. GK was talking about the weather, and I realized that, in a way, we have moved to Lake Wobegon. That weather on the radio is my weather now. GK is doing a show twenty minutes from my house. You can hear his love for this place when he speaks. And it is so beautiful. Autumn is creeping in, the leaves on some of my trees are turning yellow, and even though we have warm days coming, the air feels crisp. This is my favorite time.
School: buried, working harder than I have ever worked at anything in my life…and loving it.
Friends: I think about you always.
And so that is the news from our place in MN, where the man may not be attractive, but the woman is strong, and the child is above average.

Welcome back to the Midwest. Yes, the fall weather is returning and it makes us all feel just a bit more alive. (Of course, we can talk again in two months if you really want to feel “alive” when you step outside in Minnesota.) It is so good to have you three back within striking distance. I am excited for your new life…and a bit envious.
Hang in there,
Ben
Peter? Peter Green? Peter Green? I was reminiscing yesterday as I left you a loong voice message where I confessed how much I miss Team Shea and I remembered!!! This wonderful place to tell you that I miss you all! Hahaha, oh boy. I’m glad to see grad school is kicking you in the pants just as much as it kicked me ;o) Although, museum studies students and classicists have two very different ideas of a “work load” Hope to catch up with you soon, big hugs to the rest of Team Shea~
