Today I had dinner with my kids from the extended family program, and it was a such a warm and loving feeling. It was probably the first thing that I've done so far on this voyage even approaching what I experienced on Fall 2000, and it hasn't escaped my notice that it was a deeply personal event, one in which we serve each other's need for family. I'm proud of myself for requesting random students that I haven't already met through common interest, common ethnicity, or me being their LLC -- I need to stay in practice ratcheting myself out of my common zone and into learning. I am excited, proud and expectant after tonight -- I have agreat feeling about all of this, and about my ability to touch more student's lives, and in doing so serve them. Any blessings to me are residual effects.
