We STILL all live downwind.

Thirty years ago today, the now infamous “accident” in Unit 2 at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes from where I live (downwind), took place.
In 1979, I was a junior in college, still living at home in South Jersey.  I have to tell you that we were all terrified.  This was [...]

Steve Goodman (w/Jethro Burns): “The Dutchman.”
This is not my favorite arrangement of this, my all-time favorite Steve Goodman song, but it is the only one left on YouTube, after someone got done scrubbing that site of most of the Steve Goodman material that used to be there.  It does show off [...]

What I almost said at Meeting the other day.

Things have been pretty quiet at Meeting for Worship the last couple weeks.  Not too much in the way of vocal ministry.  That’s okay:  for many of us, the opportunity to simply sit in quiet, corporate worship with the gathered Friends is enough.  I know it is for me.  Whether there are many messages or none [...]
