>So, I had a dream last night, and Joe Mathews was up in heaven holding a 5:00 a. m. collegium for as many of the heavenly host as were up at that hour, and he was going around and asking each one there what, exactly, they had learned about life. And it was a big group and there were lots of answers. And he had just got around where Robert Frost, the American Poet and Soren Kierkegaard, the Danish existentialist were next, when Brian Stanfield showed up, and the only seat left was up in front next to Kierkegaard. So Joe said, to Brian, �You�re late� and then waited in silence with the assembly while Brian squeezed through the rows all the way up to the front and sat in that last seat.

> At that point, Brian stood up to full height, looked at Mathews, then turned to Kierkegaard and said, �That, Soren, went right over my head.�
