We took off this morning for a long, toll-filled drive up to Maine. Elizabeth's junior high principal (now rector of Christ Church-Cambridge) summers in Deer Isle. They offered us a great chance - to visit with them, to get a beautiful spot for vacation, and to speak in a church about our work. It's a long way, but worth it - we arrived just in time to boil the lobsters and get sloppy. And because it's a long way, it's quiet here - a welcome thing.
