I promised that I'd have lunch today with Lindsey. I ended up going to the Wesley Foundation lunch. Melissa, the campus minister, wasn't there today. She's in Macon taking the final steps on being a full-fleged United Methodist minister. In her place, Enoch, the minister at Trinity United Methodist, was taking care of the lunch, As usual, we had pizza and flying ice cream sandwiches. Enoch had a card for Melissa to present to her tonight when she returns to town. He had us all sign it. So, even though I didn't get to see Melissa, I signed the card. I caught up with some of the gang at lunch. Seems last Friday, they had a Wesley dinner at Melissa's house. Everyone told me it was an interesting one. I was also told they missed me at the retreat this year. I miss them, too, but that's how life goes.

When I finished up with Welsey Lunch, I headed over to the ACM lunch. Before I went to the lunch wth Lindsey, Jack from ACM saw me and asked was I coming to his meeting. I explained that I was tapped by Welsey, first, so that's where I was heading. However, I did come to the last 5 minutes of the ACM lunch. The estrogen level in the room increased by a quarter when I walked in. Only 1 person saw me come in. When the meeting ended, those that knew me, sans Joey, were glad to see me and started the old catch up talk. Did I get a job? Where am I looking? How does it feel to be out of school? So, I sat for a few minutes and answered their questions.

I did get to spend some time with Joey as well. He didn't like the ACM lunch, so we went off to get him something to eat. Then, we tried to work on his Senior Project paper. Neither one of us could work on it. So, we just walked around campus and talked before he had to go to work.

I miss school. Not the work, but the people.
