Today’s blast of nostalgia from Metafilter? Night Flight. Oh, how I loved this show – hanging late with friends and watching the funky shorts, videos and movies. And miracle of miracles, you can get recordings of the show from this enthusiast! I want the whole set. And a calzone from Mt. Etna pizza on El Cajon Blvd.

Here’s another Night Flight tribute site (abandoned?) and a Night Flight Yahoo group.

My good friend Michael Minarik turned me on to the Charter for Compassion, a group that is drafting a manifesto for the worlds’ religions stating that everyone can sign on to the concept of the Golden Rule. It’s a movement that rejects fundamentalism, regardless of its stripe. Check it out.

Meanwhile – it’s snowing here in Mercer County, big time. The sky is white at midnight from the falling snow. Beautiful.

I wish everyone a meaningful lenten season – whatever that might translate to for you. I’m still figuring out what it means to me – it’s the part of the liturgical calendar I still struggle with the most, and probably get the most out of.
