Last Wednesday, Mer and I met up with our friends Matt and Liz Akers. They are great people. In a strange twist of fate, Liz taught Latin at CVCA in 2001-02 and then Matt taught Latin in 2004-06. They are both really bright (Liz is a lawyer and Matt is working on his PhD). In fact, Matt is on track to graduate with his degree in the spring. His thesis is on the view of Genesis in one particular theologian’s writing (from the 15th century?). His thesis is 225 pages long! Go, Matt!

We met up at a Thai restaurant that Liz and Matt like very much (yes, we have a Thai restaurant in the area). The food was very good (I had orange chicken), and we took our time with the meal. We chatted about Matt’s work, and talked about CVCA, and about Matt’s new fashion sense (he is now into overalls to go along with his love of handguns, cowboy hats, motorcycles, and outlaw country). Liz is very excited about Matt’s overalls (read with sarcasm, please).

I hope to stay in contact with Matt and Liz – it is always fun to be with them.
