It's official. Melanie and I have now launched into an amazing world of patrons. Patrons of a pub I've wanted to visit for as long as a I can recall (at least since I knew what a pub was). Our first supper in Oxford was just consumed in the very same establishment where the Inklings gathered not so long ago. I was thinking about C.S. Lewis being in the very same room I was standing in, and I realized it really wasn't that long ago that he and his colleagues were here. Strange.
We've also done some other fun things. A walk around University Parks. A stop on the Rainbow Bridge. On to the City Centre. Grocery shopping. I got some really great pineapple juice, by the way.
Also a highlight... Melanie already tried to burn down our room. We were sitting in our room trying to get our Internet connections up and running. Something started to smell like burning plastic! We thought. We thought. Thought some more. "Melanie," I said, "Is that your computer?" Indeed it was. She'll have to elaborate if she so chooses. It was pretty entertaining. We had to open the window for a bit.
Just wanted to give you an update. Someone should post something real on the blog so we can discuss! : ) Peace, friends.

Sounds like ya'll are having a blast. If you get to go to Ireland, go to Killarney and walk through the Gap of Dunloe. It is very beautiful.
Man. It sounds like you guys are having an awesome time. You should definitely go punting if you get the chance. It's tons of fun. I managed to not fall into the river (although I almost did), so I think that you guys should survive...
I'll be thinking about a real post and hopefully posting soon.
