A New Day

The day was here.   We have all been here before.  But this day felt a bit different.  The speakers and topics have been updated.  There were not breakout sessions on security.  A younger group of theologians took a more prominent role. It seems to be a response to the time.  We see all around us that divisions are being depended.  The laser response to complex issues splattered on terse social media propels a cancel culture mob.  What would these men share with us as guidance for these times.  The theme of Clarity seemed fitting.  We looked forward hearing from these men from Issachar, men who understood the times.

Just before leaving we snapped a first day of school photo.  Jason was overjoyed.

On the drive in, there was slightly heavy traffic, but it was a time to discuss ink pens, impedance matching, dump trucks with an Ithacus and gust-locks.

Rod clued us in on a great side-street parking tactic from Jeff Scarborough.  It was great and saved us a bunch of time on the egress, later that day.  Now for the registration.  

The letter "U" takes about 2 minutes.  For the letter "M" and "S" the lines were much longer.  In the intervening time we grabbed some B'fast, chatted with some folks and staked out the rendezvous point outside the office.  Jason got to make some connections with some young folks interested in the DR mission.  We also got to catch up with Jonathan Solomon and encourage him for the great course work as Master's.
