excerpt from an IM conversation with Stephen

Clayton says:
what'd you think about the mahler cycle
Stephen says:
dude
Stephen says:
i wanna go
Stephen says:
baylor symphony is doing mahler 2 at bass hall on april 22
Stephen says:
i think i'm gonna go, you wanna go to?
Clayton says:
that's interesting that they are playing the same thing as fwso so close together
Stephen says:
yeah
Stephen says:
i doubt that was intentional
Stephen says:
$100 for four concerts isn't too bad
Clayton says:
nope, i'd probably only want to hear one of them
Stephen says:
oh really?
Clayton says:
i like the titan
Stephen says:
hm
Stephen says:
i must hear the 9th
Stephen says:
it's my favorite
Clayton says:
so you think you'd try and go every night?
Stephen says:
i might
Clayton says:
cool, i might just go to the 9th with you...and I don't think Margo could handle any of them
Stephen says:
hah
Stephen says:
yeah, probably not
Stephen says:
too long
Clayton says:
yeah
Clayton says:
although she did like Kris Kristopherson at Bass
Stephen says:
so we gonna record another grace record this summer or what?
Clayton says:
ha, prolly not
Stephen says:
heh, i didn't think so
Clayton says:
i got 3 unopened boxes left
Stephen says:
ooo
Stephen says:
how many have you sold?
Clayton says:
we sold a little over half what we needed to cover the cost...prolly around 200
Stephen says:
cool
Clayton says:
actually let me check...
Clayton says:
179 to be exact
Stephen says:
nice
Clayton says:
but we're giving them away as promo to new/potential members now, so they are
getting used for the ministry of the church
Stephen says:
which is a good thing
Clayton says:
yeah...one of the reasons we did it...but I'd like to think about doing one every 3 years
Stephen says:
cool
Stephen says:
hey that doctoral program you're gonna do
Stephen says:
do you end up with a dmin?
Stephen says:
not to be conused with dmin7
Clayton says:
no, a dws=Doctor of Worship Studies
Stephen says:
ah
Clayton says:
d-f-a-c
Stephen says:
someone was telling me that truett does a dmin like that
Stephen says:
where you don't have to be here
Clayton says:
really? I'll look into it, but i'm pretty set already, getting ready to buy flight/hotel/car rental soon
Stephen says:
yeah, i figured that
Stephen says:
i was telling them about what you're doing and they wondered if you had looked into truett
Clayton says:
who is them?
Stephen says:
rick and another guy that plays poker with us
Stephen says:
goes to truett
Clayton says:
plus, it's a free trip to Florida every summer!
Stephen says:
that's true
Stephen says:
much better than a free trip to waco
Clayton says:
hey, tell me what you think about this....I'm thinking about starting a blog about Mr. Yeager
Stephen says:
like a whole blog or just an entry?
Clayton says:
kind of an homage to him, a collection of all his sayings, stories, teachings, and such...a whole
blog
Stephen says:
sounds fun
Stephen says:
some of the stories i tell of him just seem made up
Clayton says:
no way
Stephen says:
like there's no way that could have really happened
Clayton says:
i can verify
Stephen says:
like tell me if i've embellished this
Stephen says:
he counted points off on someone's test because it had coffee stains on it
Stephen says:
from the coffee he flicked
Clayton says:
hahaha
Stephen says:
i'm pretty sure that happened
Clayton says:
see i didn't remember that...we need this blog to collect all that before we forget it...to
preserve it for posterity
Stephen says:
indeed
Clayton says:
all i remember is the skeleton's hand in his crotch
Stephen says:
classic story
Clayton says:
and punishing us with a pop test, that only me an sarah passed
Stephen says:
janitor's finger in a jar
Clayton says:
can with label that read "Fish Buttholes"
Stephen says:
hahhahhah
Stephen says:

Stephen says:

Clayton says:

Stephen says:
