Today's schedule is a full one, with things beginning at 6 this morning as I scraped my car windows at -8 degrees, and continuing with a Panera's meeting, quite a bit of correspondence, "When Swing Was King" business, a luncheon meeting, errands, having cards printed, planning for next week's L'Abri conference in Minnesota, and work on the new website.Which is to say, I'm not blogging today -- except to list a few articles that make for Thursday's most important dispatches from the culture wars.
