Meetings, root beer and teddy bears

• Attended the special council meeting where, as always, I sat with Joel. Is it always a coincidence that we always arrive at the meeting at the same time?
• Tried the new at KFC. Ordered root beer with it. Turned out to be a perfect combination!
• The sight of adorable stuffed teddy bears on the display window of one of the small gift shops along the road just outside campus as I walked by on my way to pay our cable/Internet bill.
