Peacemaker Conference LiveBlog to Begin Thursday Night at 8PM (Mtn) – Ken Sande
I heard some discouraging news this week … apparently the cost for internet access during the Peacemaker Conference is $150/day (!), so I thought I would not be able to LiveBlog the general sessions. But then Fred suggested that a portable keyboard for my iPhone might enable me to broadcast during the sessions … so I’m going to give it a try.

Never Succumb to the Temptation of Bitterness
Sophia and I had an interesting conversation tonight that meandered from famous people I have met (Maestro Barenboim, Hal Holbrook, and Vice-President Dan Quayle being on my list) to the United Stated Presidential Line of Succession (after her “what is a Vice-President?” question) … to the assassination of John F.
