At about 6:00 pm on Thursday evening, I started and nearly pinched myself.I sat ina chair, in a circle/clump with several others, participating and being respectfully heard in a conversation that ranged over a wide variety of topics that fascinate me. The others? Oh, just a few titans: Dan Peterson, Matt Roper, Lou Midgley,Brant Gardner,Craig Foster,Michael Ash, etc. Good. Heavens. Dear ApologeticGeek Paradise, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
I joined FAIR about a year and a half ago, basically by accident, and have been waiting ever since for them to notice that I don't belong in the pantheon. I'm a better actor than I thought,as they saw fit to bestow honor on me. I was flattered and flustered utterly, but even more relieved that they broke tradition to bestow two awards, the other on Steve Densley, who deserves it on an epic and super-human scale.
Much of life is puzzlingandunpleasantly agley from our best laid plans, but I've scored an undeniablebullseye here. My temperament,interests,needs, andtalents are nearly perfectly fulfilled in this little apologetics hobby of mine.I'm grateful every day.

I love my life. There are a lot of fascinating opportunities ahead--patent law, children, finishing my book and hopefully publication, and I'm going to start being a volunteer contributor to FAIR, a Mormon apologetics group. I've got a lot more in me, and I'm going to charge after it. Starting--now!
