My life in Chicagoland so far

In light of the fact that this weekend will lack a church-hunting post, I’ll share with you what’s been happening in my life these past two weeks instead.
Life at TEDS
I’m thoroughly enjoying all of my classes. All of my professors (Scott Manetsch, Douglas Sweeney, John Woodbridge, and Barry Beitzel) are just wonderful. My formation group is led by Sweeney as well as a man named Robert Yarbrough who teaches in the New Testament department, and is also a great guy. I haven’t met my patristics professor yet and won’t until this Friday. I’m especially impressed by how hard the history faculty work to foster personal relationships with their students. For example, my CH 8911 class will meet 5 more times this semester, and three of those meetings will be dinner meetings at the homes of the three key history professors.
I’m very excited about my program of study this semester. I’ll have to write two lengthy papers over the course of the semester, a 20-page paper for my Patristic Age course and a 15-page paper for my History of Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism course. Currently I have no idea what to do for my topic on the patristics paper; maybe something pertaining to the Early Church Fathers and an evangelical view of deification. I’m open to suggestions though. For my other class I’ll probably try to do something with the history of the LDS church and evangelical Christians, which is probably the area where my thesis will be based.
The other cool thing is that my friend J.P. Holding suggested that I meet up with another friend of his who is a TEDS student, Lita Cosner who writes for Creation Ministries International and is completing her MA in New Testament next year. I bumped into her a few times on campus during the first week, but last Wednesday I was delighted to learn that we’re taking the same Old Testament course. It’s nice to actually know someone on campus! So far I think we have a lot in common personality-wise, especially that we’re both much better at being confrontational and argumentative in writing than we are in person. We also have the same birthday—remember how many fun people share that birthday? Oh yeah. That’s the day when all the cool people are born.
Finally, I’ve joined the American Society of Church History, the Mormon History Association, and I’ve sent an application in to the Conference on Faith and History in light of my historical interests. Those links are or will be in my sidebar under “Affiliations.”
My husband’s ward
The church I was visiting last Sunday (Willow Creek North Shore) got out early, so I wound up going to the joint Priesthood/Relief Society meeting at my husband’s LDS ward. There I ran into a guy named Jacob who used to work with me in Special Collections at BYU and now goes to Paul’s ward. Not only was that a fortuitous occurrence, but Jacob is a speech therapist and he knew exactly what my daughter’s disorder was. Even doctors usually haven’t heard of it, so that was double-neat.
The bishop and the first counselor came out to visit us on Thursday night, and we had a good visit—though I was admittedly pretty nervous about it beforehand. We’ve had seven bishops since we’ve been married and this is the first time one has come out to our home to get to know us. It actually turned out to be a pretty enjoyable meeting though—I was impressed by the fact that the bishop asked me “What do you think of the church?” instead of “So why aren’t you Mormon?”, which is the question I usually get. I felt like I was able to lay down some things that we would like in our relationship with the ward and set some boundaries concerning our interfaith family. Overall I was really impressed with this bishop and his counselor.
I’ll be visiting the ward tomorrow morning and I’ll update this post with a brief account of that visit.
UPDATE: I just got back from my husband’s ward. As I began to walk into the sacrament meeting hall, I was stopped by a member of the bishopric who informed me that non-members are not allowed to bear their testimonies in this stake. (My husband had mentioned at the ward temple trip earlier this week that I was planning on doing it.) That really, really hurt my feelings, and I left.
So I’ll be visiting the next church on my church-hunting list and will blog about that later today.
My church hunt
I have been e-mailing some of the churches in the area which came to the TEDS church fair to ask them about their position on women in ministry, and most of them have been complementarian. I’ve been as careful as I can to phrase my inquiries in a non-contentious manner and be polite and gracious when saying “no thanks” to a church. Much to my amazement, the pastors I’m contacting are being polite and gracious in return. Who says complementarians and egalitarians can’t at least live and let live? I think it’s unlikely that I would attend a complementarian church, but some local soft complementarian churches are really quite egalitarian at heart, so I’m doing my best to evaluate the specifics of a church’s polity instead of rejecting them outright the minute they claim the “complementarian” label.
I will let people know about these developments when I visit the churches in question.
Life at home
Our daughter Harley enjoys having a much bigger apartment to run around in and enjoys having her own room, but she is having a horribly rough time with the new sleeping arrangements. For the past two weeks she has refused to sleep in her own room and insisted on sleeping in our bed, and I’ve always been adamantly against co-sleeping, so she has always slept in her own crib before this. We’ve determined that she isn’t afraid of the dark, she really just hates being alone. We’ve tried letting her fall asleep in our room then moving her to her room, but she always wakes up in the middle of the night and begins wailing and pounding pitifully on her bedroom door.
We’re currently implementing Plan B, which is to force her to sleep in her room and ignore her crying and pounding on the door. It makes me feel like a mean parent, but damn it, I want my bed back. I’m open to suggestions in this department.
Paul and I are still looking for work, though we have enough money to live off of until the end of October to mid-November. Prayers in this department appreciated. A local dance studio is looking for a full-time male dance instructor and Paul is applying for that, which is something he would love to do.
Finally, I went shopping today because there were sales going on like crazy and I don’t think I’ve bought new clothes in a long time. I picked up six new tops and a pair of pants all for under $100. The pants were a pair of beige pinstripe pants that only cost $7.99, and they actually fit my freakishly long legs, so they were my favorite find. (I hope you’re reading this, Nicole, because I’m sure you can appreciate that!)
That’s it for now. My school week this week is busy as I prepare for my weekend monthly patristics class, so don’t be surprised if I don’t post or comment much in the meantime. I do have one post set to auto-publish on Saturday the 12th.

Comments

My life in Chicagoland so far — 42 Comments

  1. I’m so glad Chicago is treating you and your little family well! (And here’s hoping Paul gets the dance job–talk about perfect!)
  3. Jack, that doesn’t sound right to me, but it’s possible that the Stake has had local problems with nonmember gadflies.
    During one trip to Chicago (I used to be on a biweekly shift schedule as a Temple ordinance worker there) I was approached in a restaurant close to the Temple by such a person.
    Even so, I’ve never heard of such a restriction before.
    I hope that Paul or you take a chance to peacefully explain to that Bishop what that felt like, because I know from my own experiences that such things, like all sudden rejections, sting.
  4. No bearing testimonies for non members? Boo! I would have turned around and left with you. Xavier has only done it once, and may not do it again, but choosing not to and not being able two are very different things.
    And yes, before I even read my name, I was already jealous of your new pants. Score!
  5. I’ve never heard of banning non-members from bearing testimony before. How odd, and yes, hurtful. I probably would have left too.
    My son (age 4) is another kid who doesn’t like to sleep alone but we are pretty flexible on the cosleeping thing so in the past we’ve just let him come in our bed when he wakes up. Now that he’s bigger and takes up more space we have a little mattress on the floor next to our bed, and he knows he has to sleep there rather than waking us up by getting into our bed. It’s been a good compromise for us.
  6. I’m pretty hurt right now. Maybe when I’ve quit crying and fuming and I’ve calmed down, I’ll contact the bishopric so we can talk about this. But if they’re going to be like this, there’s no way I want to attend church with my husband once a month. Not a chance. Paul says he’s perfectly okay with it if it comes to that.
    Chelsea, thanks for the advice. I’ll think about making her a bed on the floor. She’s a tall little girl and she can really sprawl out, and we’re each 6’0″+ as it is, so it’s pretty uncomfortable having her in bed with us every night.
  7. Just a rhetorical question here… but what about non-members who are taking the discussions and have decided to be baptized? They are encouraged to bear their testimony before they get dunked. Does this mean they have to wait?
  8. Oh Jack, I’m so sorry. My guess is that they freaked out over imagining what so knowledgeable a non-LDS might say at the pulpit. Overdefensiveness born of ignorance. There’s no such general rule, and we’ve had non-LDS at the podium during F&T meeting before.
    That was pretty rude, and I wouldn’t blame you for ceasing your normal pattern of once a month attendance at Paul’s ward.
  9. I guess I’m in the camp that supports going back and getting a more in-depth explanation of that policy, making sure the parties are aware that you’ve attended plenty of other wards that embraced your participation and that if they are actually trying to increase their numbers, this isn’t the way to go about it. Be the voice of reason here; it’s too easy to get offended and scurry. It’s a lot more edifying to challenge humanly-flawed policy.
  10. Has anybody asked the Stake President the reason for the ban since it’s a stake policy? Is it just a long standing tradition that isn’t questioned very often or by the right person?
    Is it possible to talk to the SP about changing the rule?
  11. The handbook says the following.
    Fast and Testimony Meeting
    After the sacrament, the bishopric member who is conducting bears a brief testimony. He then invites members to bear brief, heartfelt testimonies and to relate faith-promoting experiences.
    I guess the stake may be narrowing it up based on this, but I think it’s a bad policy (in your case). We all feel for you. But, maybe if you can dipolmatically convince the SP that you will not be trying to deconvert members during your testimony, but instead are fulfilling the qualifications given in their own handbook, they may be willing to deal. Good luck.
  12. Here’s the thing: I shouldn’t have to diplomatically convince anyone that I’m not there to cause trouble. Just the thought of it gives me a headache. The bishop and first counselor spent 2-3 hours talking with us on Thursday night. What more did they need to know that I’m not a liability in this department? I’ve spoken in F&T meetings 3-4 times and I’ve never given anything but a “brief, heartfelt testimony” and I’ve always been careful to only talk about things that Mormons and evangelicals share.
    And frankly, I think that barring non-members from approaching the lectern is a stupid policy to have. How do they normally tell whether or not someone is a non-member beforehand? Do they count on the Holy Spirit to tell them? Do they stop people at the lectern and ask for their membership numbers? If someone is giving a testimony and mentions being a non-member, do they stop them and force them to sit back down? It’s a stupid, impractical policy and the only reason I was singled out and picked on was because they knew beforehand that I was planning it.
    Yes, my husband will talk to them about it and see if they’ll reconsider, but I’m not prepared to fight a long battle over this. I’ll just walk. I’m the non-member. They’re supposed to be doing whatever it takes to make meetings welcoming for me, not chasing me off. And Paul has already said that if I don’t go to his church once a month, he’ll come to my church twice a month to make sure we get our usual quota of time spent in church together, so hey. More Protestant church for our family. If that’s the way the ward wants it, so be it.
    The really ironic part about all this? I don’t think the evangelicals at any of the churches I’ve attended have ever been rude to Paul. I figured we’d run into interfaith trouble eventually, but I didn’t think it would be Mormons being rude to me when we did.
    Sorry to be so cranky. I haven’t been this hurt by something Mormons have done to me since the “you don’t pray right” fiasco.
  13. I’m so sorry you had such a rough experience at church! Sometimes people can be so ignorant and/or rude. I definitely know what it’s like to leave early crying, and I hope you can find a way to work everything out so that you can continue to have family time with your husband. (You had previously mentioned enjoying being at church with him.) I agree with the previous posters that you or your husband should ask about the policy.
  14. Jack, I agree with Paul’s suggestion that he attend your church twice a month so as to keep your familial church participation in equilibrium.
  15. If it makes you feel better Jack (which it won’t) there have been plenty of Evangelicals who’ve been rude to me, maybe in the cosmic sense that makes up for the lack of Evangelicals being rude to Paul (in front of either him or you).
    I agree that they have a policy that doesn’t fit well with you. I’m actually thinking they might have had a problem with some past former-member, who may still come to church hoping to hop onto a bully pulpit and talk about inappropriate things for Sacrament meeting. The stake may have simply adopted a no non-member thing, and in order to be equitable, have to apply it uniformly, even if the Bishop was perfectly comfortable with having you speak. I hope that’s the case, and that they’d explain it to you if it were. I’m sure all the members here have heard some kind of inappropriate testimony where a too-sacred “experience” was shared (“I saw and angel who sealed up my exalatation.”), where too much of one’s personal struggles are shared, “I’ve been having trouble keeping this part of the law of chastity.”). It sucks that those might impede upon YOUR ability to share a “brief, heartfelt, testimony of the Savior”, because I know everyone there would be edified by it.
    FWIW. Gerald McDermott, from Claiming Christ outlines that it’s pretty much impossible for Mormons and Christians to pray together publicly, or even listen to the same sermon, so somehow I just imagine most Evangelicals opening their Microphones up to Mormons. That fact doesn’t justify how you were treated.
  16. What an asinine way to treat a person who intends to be a participant in the ward. Given how many members say really stupid things at testimony meeting, it would only be reasonable to give you the same opportunity. If you ended up saying something controversial, they could address the issue then. Hope you’re able to work this out with them.
  17. PC, I’ve supposed it might be something like what you’ve described, but there’s no real way to tell at this distance.
    It causes heartache, because we know Jack, and we know that she means us quite a lot of goodwill and no harm at all. Plus, it’s hurtful to preempt someone like that.
    We also know that because of the way the Church is organized, no amount of input from outside the Stake can or will have a bearing on policies like this, unless a) they receive correction from an Area Authority Seventy or b) the High Council agrees to rescind their policy or to make an exception for Jack. (The former is preferable, of course, but I don’t know the history behind it.)
    That’s why it’s important, in my opinion, for the leadership in that Stake to have explained to them just how their policy, and how they enforced it, affected the Meyers family. Something as simple as Paul explaining the consequences of how they went about it is all I’d recommend.
    But I agree with those who have explained that there is no such general rule; I’ve never heard of it. And, while I haven’t heard the wildest things at F&T meetings I’ve been to, I have seen seven year olds take the pulpit and natter nonsensically.
    I’ve also seen a film worth mentioning (and I wish I could remember its name); it was a documentary about a Canadian town that took in some of the people displaced by the chaos around the 9/11/2001 attacks. In that film is footage of a Mormon congregation, receiving thanks from one of the people they helped during that week, from the pulpit. The person was not a Church member.
  18. Ugh. Good riddance, Jack. I’m sorry to hear about that total crapfest of a morning, and props to Paul for being so supportive about your options from here on out.
  19. My approach would have been the same as Derek’s. Let Jack do her thing, and if she said something unwelcome, courteously disinvite her from speaking again.
  20. PC ~ I’m really having a hard time understanding why that would make me feel better. This isn’t a “whose church has fewer asshats” contest. I’ll readily acknowledge that evangelicals are more likely to be rude to Mormons than vice versa, which is why I said I found the incident ironic.
    I’ve had a long nap and I feel less like crying about it. My husband will e-mail the bishop tomorrow, so we’ll see if we can salvage this.
  21. I hope you can salvage this as well. Yes, I’ve had some real jerky things said to me over the years by Evangelicals, as well as to others I’ve known. My SP in So. Calif. had an Evangelical (maybe Apostate), who was known to call & berate him for his LDS membership at the oddest times anyhow, called moments after the 1992 Landers Earthquake, and told the SP that the quake was a warning from God for the SP to repent. Strange, there was only one death in that quake, a boy who’s family wasn’t even LDS!
    We’ve also had some Evangelicals attend Sunday School in various Wards around here (in San Jose, CA) in years past, & start asking totally unrelated anti-/countercult types of question, hoping to win people over to their church. And, someone was putting anti- type pamphlets on cars at an LDS Sacrament Meeting in Georgia, where I served my Mission. Funny, if us Missionaries had put LDS pamphlets on cars at another church’s meeting, I think our Mission President would have killed us for making the Church look so bad.
    So, things like that may have happened in that Region as well.
    On the other hand, yes, I’ve heard some off the wall comments by LDS members from time to time in various LDS meetings, so it goes both ways about “bad” behavior. So, people like you get caught in the cross fire of such.
  22. Jack, I’m so sorry. It sounds like a terrible policy to me. I’m glad your husband is so supportive.
  23. I’ve never heard of non-members not being allowed to bear testimony in my area. That’s pretty suspicious, I think.
    Now…I have heard of people getting yanked away from the lectern after saying something controversial (but that’s usually not a non-member…that’s usually a well-meaning member, usually Native American or Polynesian, who raises up something about how she is so grateful for literally being a Lamanite who has found the church again and has the opportunity to become white and delightsome and — oops, that ends that testimony. It’s funny because in Oklahoma, that happens like…every other month)
  24. Oh, for…goodness’…sake. :) Come on, like you would have said anything more idiotic than some others say in F&T meeting. “Brief, heartfelt testimony” my left foot. Way too many people take that time to introduce their family, tell about their week, blather on about irrelevant crap… You would have enriched the meeting. I’m sending a very stinging slap toward Paul’s bishopric right now.
  25. Sorry about the testimony thing.
    You might try asking the actual bishop, just to confirm that you didn’t simply have a run-in with the local hard-nose on the bishopric.
    It’s often good for a bishopric to have at least one Handbook of Instructions Nazi to keep a few boundaries in place (which can benefit a ward quite a bit, actually). The more nice and easy-going the bishop is, the more valuable these hardliners are (otherwise the ward can walk all over the bishop).
    So, you might want to confirm with the bishop that this is how it goes down in these parts.
    Or you might want to just avoid re-hashing it, which is fine too.
  26. BOO! You should petition them to give you the podium, and then when they finally relinquish…filibuster. That’ll show ‘em. Bastards.
  27. harley sounds a lot like i was a little kid. i slept in mom and dads bed for a long time cause i hated to be alone, and i turned out fine! haha
    maybe you should try falling asleep with her in her room? and then when shes asleep, go back to your room? anyways, tell the little kiddo i love her!
  28. Harley’s a kicker and a cover-hog just like you, too.
    I got her a t-shirt that says “Soccer Star” on it and looks like a jersey. Was thinking of you. Will post pics to Facebook soon.
  31. Eric ~ This was the post and this was the comment (it came at the very end):
    Next week I’ll be visiting an esoteric cult known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints so I can preach in F&T meeting and introduce myself to my husband’s ward. I really, really love this thing where Mormons let anyone approach their pulpit and preach… suckers.
    And I can definitely see how anyone who wasn’t a regular reader of this blog and familiar with my tongue-in-cheekiness could be put off by that comment. Obviously I don’t think Mormonism is a cult; I call people who think that “stupid” in my IAQ, and I don’t actually consider the chance to speak in F&T meeting “preaching.” I do consider it a chance to briefly introduce myself to the ward, and coming only once a month, they’ll have a hard time remembering me otherwise. My husband’s last ward never remembered who I was week by week until I spoke at F&T meeting; after that they never forgot me.
    However, neither the bishop nor the first counselor were aware I had a blog when they visited Thursday night, and I did mention it. My husband told the first counselor about my plans on the Friday night temple trip and the counselor said, “I don’t think non-members are allowed to give testimonies.” My husband said, sure they can, she’s done it several times before. I’d be surprised if comments made on this blog were a factor past those initial expressed reservations about non-members speaking at F&T meeting.
    Anyways, the bishop has e-mailed us back and apologized and is going to check with the stake president and meet with us about this, and I have to say that I feel a little bit guilty for complaining in public on this blog at all. I probably should have waited to see how this plays out before saying anything, but I acted rashly out of anger and hurt feelings.
    Thank you again for all of the kind comments and support and suggestions. I hope we can work something out.
  32. Derek said:
    Given how many members say really stupid things at testimony meeting, it would only be reasonable to give you the same opportunity. If you ended up saying something controversial, they could address the issue then.
    That makes sense to me.In the only testimony meaning I’ve been to where I know that the bishop dealt with an issue afterward, it involved three members (one of them a former bishop and outspoken conservative) a few years ago who mentioned how their testimonies were strengthened by seeing The Passion of the Christ. The bishop gave a brief talk the following week about how we’re not supposed to see R-rated movies. Although I disagreed with the bishop (for among other reasons because I thought it was a great film), I thought it was appropriate for him to state his viewpoint, and probably better to do so the following week than at the time. It made for some really hard feelings, though.
    Jack, as to the case at hand, I wonder if someone in the bishopric saw your blog post of a few days ago when you mentioned how you were looking forward to speaking at the sacrament meeting. I don’t remember your exact words (and I didn’t have much luck finding the post), and I virtually know you well enough to know you wouldn’t say anything offensive, but if I had read the comment out of context and were a member of the bishopric I might have been wary of what you might say. If that were the case, it would have been better to talk to you well ahead of the meeting rather than blindsiding you. So I’m not defending what happened, just trying to imagine what some local church leader might have thought reading what you said out of context.
  33. Yep, that was the post. It was even “worse” than I remember …
    I hope you can work out something too. If I were in the bishropic and it weren’t against the rules, I’d let you give a regular talk. If you speak only half as well as you write, you’d do great.
    FWIW, I once helped my wife substitute-teach a gospel doctrine class once before I became a member (and even before I committed to baptism). And I once attended a fireside where the featured speaker was a nonmember. I don’t recall ever hearing a nonmember give a regular talk or a testimony before, though.
  34. Jack, I highly recommend The No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. I can’t deal with letting my kids cry it out, and that book has worked wonders. One of the problems with falling asleep with your child, or moving them while they’re sleeping, is that it’s like going to sleep in your bed, where you’re happy and comfortable, and waking up on the kitchen floor. What happened? How the heck did you move? And you’re disoriented and confused and it’s upsetting, so it can definitely be the kind of thing that would upset a child.
    The mattress on the floor idea is a good one, if it works. I don’t think it would work for Oliver, who would want to talk to us and then ask us to snuggle him or whatever. Good luck with that.
    Regarding the way you were treated at the LDS church, that just sucks. It would have made me really upset, and I would have a really hard time ever going back. For me, it would be serious enough to have my husband request to attend a different ward, if they wanted me to ever come with. Then again, getting to just go to your church altogether more often might be a happier solution. :) Paul should definitely bring it up with the bishop though, and let them know that 1. if that’s really the policy, it’s a dumb policy, and 2. the way you were told about it was not okay and is no way to talk to anyone because it’s hurtful, and you deserve an apology. If that was the policy, they should have brought it up with you when meeting with you in person, and explained any rationale behind it.
  35. Eric ~ Yeah, certainly not the sort of comment I’d want a ward member to stumble on during a first visit here. I’ll have to be more careful what I say.
    I have heard of non-members giving talks in sacrament meeting, though I’m sure they’d make Paul give a talk on the same day if they did that and he’d hate it. That would certainly make up for it, but I’m not really going into this with any expectations at this point. I’ll hear what they have to say. I am worried that they’ll simply tell me that while they’re sorry things happened the way they did, they aren’t changing the policy for me and that’s that.
    BTW, you should really blog about your journey into the LDS church sometime. It’d probably make for a great guest post at Tim’s blog.
    Katyjane ~ Yeah, we’ll have to try the mattress in the room thing next. We are talking with the bishop, he did apologize, and I hope we’re able to work something out.
  37. BTW, you should really blog about your journey into the LDS church sometime. It’d probably make for a great guest post at Tim’s blog.
    I’ve written about it in various places, although I’m not sure how much I’ve put in one place at one time.
    I’m not sure how much of my experience is applicable to others. It was a long process (about two years from the time I seriously started looking into it until I made the plunge), and so many issues are quite specific to me, and some personal matters, particularly those involving other people, I’m reluctant to post on the Web, even anonymously.
    And one of the ironies (that may not be the right word) for me is that the evangelical doctrine that bothered me the most when I was growing up and which had the greatest influence in my leaving evangelicalism (namely that those who haven’t heard the gospel will spend eternity burning in hell) is modified and/or very much de-emphasized by most evangelicals today. Who knows? Maybe if I had been born 30 years later I’d be approaching my old age still an evangelical.
    On, and about the where-does-the-baby-sleep thing: All of our children have slept with us for extended periods of time. Fortunately, all of them eventually quit doing it as well. It worked out well for us, but “co-sleeping” definitely isn’t for everyone.
  38. Paul has a job interview at that dance studio this Saturday at 12:45 PM our time, so please keep him in prayer! It would be a full-time job if he gets it, and a dream job for him.
  39. …namely that those who haven’t heard the gospel will spend eternity burning in hell, is modified and/or very much de-emphasized by most evangelicals today.
    At the Funeral for Alvin Smith in 1823, the brother of Joseph Smith Jr., the Presbyterian minister who was asked to officiate asserted that Alvin could not be saved since Alvin had not become a member of that congregation. JS Sr. was not very happy about what was said, either.
    I am also interested to hear what Jack picks up on ancient baptism for the dead through various theological studies.
  41. Jack, What do you know about the overlaps between Stoicism and Christianity? Some Stoic concepts could have helped you take the “no non-member testimonies” thing more in stride.
    BTW, a few years ago, a minister from another church gave a talk at the adult (saturday night) session of our Stake Conference. I thought that was cool. I forget what he talked about, but I don’t remember anything contrary to LDS-doctrine in it.
  42. Well, I have good news. It looks like I’m going to get a job working in the archives at the Rolfing Library on the TIU campus. It’s temporary and part-time, but that’s better than either of us has right now, and it could lead to other jobs on campus.
    It’s not a 100% done deal, but it looks very likely, and I’m excited. Hanging out in a back room with nothing but boxes to dig through, label and file is exactly what I love doing!
