Surprise encounter.

This afternoon I dropped by the local post office before going to campus; Fr. Cessario was also there, and we exchanged greetings, but he left shortly afterwards. He seems to be doing well. Perhaps the Lady Downstairs will take one of his classes.

In one of my dreams last night Stephen Pope was mentioned in connection with me; I'm not sure why his name would come up--probably just a confusion with someone else, and because I am looking at the collection of essays he edited on St. Thomas' ethics.

While on campus I was naturally surrounded with students, most of whom reminded me of _____ and ______. I have no doubt the Philosopher will be able to handle the students over at Emerson. As for me, a day like this makes me want to look for a job at Christendom, or to change to something else.

Most of the young people I see have no restraint or consideration... but I'm saving another post for that complaint.

Professor Kreeft used to have on his office door that line that was a slight take on the famous line from The Sixth Sense: "I see stupid people." It's too bad Idiocracy was dumped by the studios without much advertising. It's playing in select theaters now, but it will probably be gone soon.
