Joshua came home from Seattle for the weekend and we got right down to figuring this one out. Seattle, you see, is "edgy," so I wanted to formulate a theory with someone who is on-the-ground over there.
1. Edgy is being a post-modern relativist ... but absolutely convinced that your view of the world is right.
2. Edgy is driving a Toyota Prius to do your part in fighting global warming.
3. The University of Washington is edgy; Washington State University ain't.
5. Republican? What's that?
6. Mars Hill Church in Seattle, where Joshua attends, is edgy; for some reason the sanctuary is painted black and has strobe lights.
8. Edgy is not Yuppy; in talking to Josh I found that Yuppy is now about 55, has kids in college, and plays Scrabble. You can be yuppy and edgy at the same time -- it's possible. But you would at best be on the fringes of edgy; you would more likely be an edgy wannabe. Didn't you just get a membership application from AARP?
Meanwhile, in Spokane, we're just on edge about when Trader Joe's will open up a store in these parts. But they're probably too edgy to do it, those turkeys.

1 Corinthians 9.22b-23 I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

I LOVE this post. Actually, I love all your writings, but this post is great. In thinking about it, I would much rather be 'on the fringes of edgy' because there would be less stress.
