The circle

About six and a half years ago, I wrote this post about a great class in which I got some help from a few remarkable members of the Baylor theater department.

Last night I had dinner with one of them (John-Michael Marrs), and two others (the Wards) live only blocks from me in Minnesota now.

So many times, it turns out that good-bye does not really mean good-bye, and that is in large part how leaving Texas has been.  There are still these strong links to so many people there, and something about that makes me very happy.
