Summary
Dennis and Julie ask did you have trepidation on your wedding day? The famous are rarely significant, and the significant are rarely famous. Is fame significant? Is fame a uniquely American pursuit? Let’s say you do get into a good college… then what?! You need an “inner” life to be happy, the “outer” stuff won’t get you there. Once you get what you want, it may not be what you thought it would be. What role does God play as the engineer of your life? Other topics include: vehicular misadventures; acts of heroism that go unnoticed daily; Bridge of San Luis Rey - Thornton Wilder; cigar lounge experiences; and clown parties!
