Where have I been?
Goodness, it has been a while. I've finished my second year at CDSP, with more good grades. Excellent. I went to a short conference about a new Confirmation curriculum that I've been involved in the testing of. Hopefully we'll be extending the test over the next year, refining it and tweaking it before the general release.
Then I went to Philadelphia for the Episcopal Preaching Foundation's Preaching Excellence Program. I was gathered for a week with students from almost all of the Episcopal seminaries to learn about preaching from some wonderful teachers. I managed to pop up to Boston to visit Mum and Kate and Mark.
I've fixed up the bike that a previous tenant left behind, an old department store special Schwinn Sidewinder. It's close to dangerous to ride, but I've been taking it out for spins down to Alameda and Oakland airport (where I eavesdrop on the ATC with my scanner). I figure by the end of the summer I'll ride to San Jose, give the bike to a Goodwill store or something, and be ready to upgrade to a proper bike. It's great to be getting some exercise again; the jogging thing just wasn't working.
I've been volunteering up at the railroad where I spent last summer, and I've been doing more online Flight Sim stuff.
C and I are flying out tomorrow to Boston, where we will pick up a car and drive cross country, via Minneapolis, the Dakotas, and Yellowstone.
I've got a ton of comment spam lately. I think I'll just turn off the comments. You can email me at chris at the domain name of this website if you want to say hi.
