Tonight, Pigweed and Crowhill are going to record a show about the history of religious revivals in America, and compare that with what happened at Asbury University.

Any questions, thoughts, or things you’d like us to discuss?

If you feel inclined, please leave a note about your favorite Passover customs or memories.

From my home office window I have a nice view of the road in front of my house. I see lots of people walking dogs, taking their daily constitutional, etc.

I just saw a man and a boy — I assume a father and son — riding down the sidewalk on the same bicycle.

Some people would see what I saw and say, “The boy isn’t wearing a helmet!! And you’re not supposed to ride on the sidewalk!”

Okay. I agree that kids should wear helmets, and that the sidewalk isn’t for bikes. But what I see is a father being involved with his son, and I think that’s far more important.

A few days ago I listened to a podcast about the Appalachian Trail. It focused on people who do the whole thing. “Through hikers,” they’re called.

I’ve done my share of backpacking, but never more than 4 days. Usually 3, or even just an over-nighter.

It’s a lot of fun, and I’ve considered longer trips, but I have mixed feelings about it.

On the one hand, it appeals to my sense of adventure. It would be nice to be away from the world for a while. I like being out and about, and I don’t mind discomfort.

OTOH, I’m not sure my knees would take it, and who has five months they can afford to be away from work, home, etc.?

If I suddenly came into a couple of million dollars, and if Mrs. C would go with me, I might consider it. (I couldn’t leave her at home all that time.) In the meanwhile, I might have to content myself with a week-long trip. Somewhere. Sometime.
