Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day,
Time will never bring thee back
Chances swept away!

St. John's College Master of Arts in Liberal Arts (2005-2009). Five segments. Five summer semesters. Great Books. The classics. Literature. History. Math and Science. Politics and Society. Philosophy and Theology. Pondering the Big Questions. |
 |
Dallas White Rock Marathon (2004). Marathon number three. Probably the last. Training is time consuming -- and the knees and feet do not enjoy the lengthy runs anymore. Time for better balance. |
 |
Colorado backpacking (2004). Colorado in July once again. Solo. Nine "fourteeners." Six days. Tiring. Exhilarating. Shavano, Tabeguache, Missouri, Oxford, Belford, Quandary, Grays, Torreys, Bierstadt. |
|
St. John's College Santa Fe Summer Classics (2004). Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching, tutors, seminars, dialogue. A week with interesting people, mountains, and thunderstorms. The other 51 weeks almost pale in comparison. |
 |
Colorado backpacking (2003). Colorado in July. Two friends. One tent. Six "fourteeners." Five days. One canyon. One narrow-gauge railroad. Incredible. "For everything else, there's MasterCard." Redcloud, Sunshine, Handies, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Chicago Basin, Eolus, Sunlight, Windom. |

St. John's College Santa Fe Summer Classics (2003). An intense, exhilarating, incredible way to study the classics. For SMU Master of Liberal Arts students, it is also a great way to earn a one-hour credit. I chose seminars on (1) Emerson essays and (2) Tolstoy short stories. The result was a lot of "connections."

San Diego Marathon (2003). What can I say? It's all about the training. This marathon was number two; Chicago in 2001 was the first. The big question is "Will there be a number three?" |
 |
SMU at Oxford (2002). War and Diplomacy course at University College ("Univ") with side trips to London, Belgium, and France to visit battlefields, museums, and monuments. View some Kodak and digital moments. |

SMU at St. Gregory's Abbey (2002). Click on any photo on the thumbnail page to see a larger image. We enjoyed a wonderful experience at St. Gregory's. Let's stay in touch with each other and with our journeys. |
