Miscellaneous Favorite 2006 Posts

Here’s the last of my 2006 look-back postings.  In no particular order:

I’m Back, From the Alaska Wilderness  [link].  A report (with pictures) on a ten-day wilderness backpacking trip above the Arctic Circle with my son and other Boy Scouts.

Turn [Enron’s Ken] Lay and [Jeff] Skilling Over to the Gates Foundation?  [link].  They’d do more good living in tiny apartments and working for BillG and MelindaG than they would if they were simply rotting in prison.  [After I posted this, Ken Lay died, and his conviction was subsequently vacated.]

Stay Seated!  [link].  A rant against obligatory standing ovations.

Ritual  [link].  The church needs a few more micro-rituals for family situations, especially somber occasions such as the death of a loved one.

Sure, Jews and Muslims Can Celebrate Christmas [link].  There’s no reason any worshipper of the Creator shouldn’t celebrate the various good things he has wrought.

A Reexaminer, Not a Reappraiser  [link].  I propose a different name for so-called ‘revisionists’ (referred to as ‘reappraisers’ on Kendall Harmon’s blog, TitusOneNine).
