Last night, I finally got in touch with my friend Marié! (We had discovered in August that we were both going to be out here this year). So instead of going bar-hopping with my housemates (not my idea of fun…), I dropped them off in Philly and went to her place. It’s fun to have a Methodist friend from Oregon nearby, even though (as we soon realized) we don’t actually know each other that well.
Went to Arch Street UMC together on Sunday morning. It’s a pretty neat church, very old and right downtown. It was great to hear some good Methodist music—emphasis on the music part (they could have picked better songs...): great singing/harmony/acoustics/choir. The UMW invited us to stay for lunch with them, so we did: JVC (and poor Grad student) rule: never pass up free food when it’s offered… It was a great spur-of-the-moment 18 hours.
