A Talk With George

When my college minister would lend me books, he'd always add a Calvin & Hobbes compilation to the pile. That may be the most personally appropriate spiritual direction I've ever received.

All I know about George Plimpton is what's written here. And I only looked him up because this song by Jonathan Coulton (titled "A Talk with George") caught my attention.

To the seven deadly sins I would add an eighth: 'being morose.' I bought a guitar last weekend and I'm taking a self-imposed break from my ongoing existential crisis to learn how to play it.

It's a good thing we have forever to enjoy God, because apparently I need a lot of practice.
