   Before heading back into the cold of St. Charles I looked back at the archives from last year, and had to chuckle to note that I had written an article while waiting for the return flight and had noted that they needed new carpet at gate A-16. Well, this time out, we sat on the tarmac for 35 minutes waiting

   I will be on with Chris Arnzen on Iron Sharpens Iron at 3pm EST on WNYG. Listen in!

   That has to be the longest title for a blog entry yet. A new record. At least I don’t have to worry about a comments string like poor Dan Phillips. There is something…almost sad about that. (wink)    First, Angelz now has his own blog, so, I can link to his toons and you can get mad at him instead of

On the screen he is identified as a “spiritual adviser.” So I started listening very closely, as they were discussing the Haggard situation.

   Some of our fine folks on board are still live-blogging the Pulpit Crimes cruise here. Make sure to drop by and see their running commentary!
