Base camp

is damned near in the geometric center of Arkansas. Tomorrow we go to Blue Camp and on to the summit thursday, and get airlifted out friday. And again next week.

Weather here is stupendous. Windows open as I drive and as I sleep, wisteria blooming everywhere, green trees. Gonna be hard to go back to Chicago.

Light blogging, no doubt.

Godspeed, dear friend.

Already, it begins

I’m seeing nastiness in the media about the Pope’s imminent passing.

SODAKMONK, a recent addition to the blogroll (via Acidman of all places) has it right:

“It’s not the death of Pope John Paul II that is going to bother me. (If ever someone was ready to go, he is the one.) It will be the inevitable stupid comments in the media, from people who have no sense of decency.”

He’s absolutely right.
