i got back to austin late last night. after 5 hours of sleep i got up for an easy 15mi and then went to breakfast at austin java. the legs are feeling o.k. after a week of relative rest but i can still feel a bit of fatigue on practically non-existent hills.
i saw an article about a guy named huston smith in the san francisco chronicle last week. he's one of the world's foremost religious scholars. he was raised by missionary parents in china and is a practicing methodist. along the way he spent 10 years also being hindu, 10 years following islam and 10 years studying zen buddhism. he's very well published and, according to makana who saw him speak at a conference recently, also very down to earth. i got excited by his background (and am generally interested in his research) and picked up his book the world's religions, which i have barely been able to put down. i would love to be able to sit down and chat with this man. he's fascinating.
