an interesting week for the carters

1. On Monday our daughter Liz successfully defended her undergraduate thesis in Asian Studies at UNC, and will graduate in May with "highest honors".
2. On Tuesday my wife Pam met Michelle Obama.
3. On Wednesday our daughter Abby flew to Dallas, where she is playing in a national club volleyball tournament for college students.
4. Today I was invited to spend a week in the summer with one of my spiritual heroes, Eugene Peterson, focusing on "writing and pastoral ministry".

Lots of other important stuff, but these were the highlights.
