overheard

Author Anne Lamott spoke on campus today, and I was there to sell the books. She's an independent spirit, not to mention a middle-aged white woman with sweet blondish dreads spiking out from her head in all directions.

These are the two best things I overheard her say during her lecture, from my position just outside the main room of Amasa Stone:

"Everyone is Loved and Chosen...even Dick Cheney."

"It is only 1/6billionth about you."

What makes these comments even a little better is that she was talking about teaching a young children's Sunday school class...these were things that were in her head, as opposed to things she actually told said young children. I might just have to buy one of her books. I've heard that the title of her most recent one, "Plan B", refers to that fact that she needed a personal plan b after her desire that George W not get elected (or re-elected?) did not come true. Hurray for Democrats who teach sunday school to young children.
