With my folks visiting I've been treated to especially-fantastic home cooked meals courtesy of dear friends in my new city of Boston -- and tonight I was reminded by the Posts how long it's been since palabras e imágenes got any attention. How appropriate then that this photo as we sat down to dinner a few hours ago brings us up to date.

Sort of up to date, that is. Teaching 2 afternoons a week and taking a full load of fascinating courses means there are many tales to tell and plenty more images to share -- but more urgently there are also 30 dense pages of fundamental theology to read before bed.
