I couldn’t help but smile at this reference to Baptist churches in Rick Riordan’s book The Widower’s Two Step. Now, now, Mr. Riordan – we’re really not all that scary, are we?
“The Hyde Park neighborhood is not quite as snooty as the name implies. It’s equal part college kid, aging hippie, and aging yuppie. Its got its share of bad elements — sleazy laundromats, dilapidated student housing, Baptist churches.”
We are on our way to Austin where my wife and I will be blogging the Defending the American Dream Texas Summit. It is being sponsored by some great organizations; Americans For Prosperity, The Sam Adams Alliance, RightOnline, etc.. And, there are some great speakers scheduled; Michael Steele, Grover Norquist, John Fund, Bob Barr, Michelle Malkin, etc. Come on back to the blog over the next few days as I share my thoughts on the experience. Or, go on over to Susan’s blog and get some more well thought out reflections on the event.
I enjoy seeing Parker enthusiastic about things. So, when he returned from his field trip to Austin it thrilled me to listen to his excited recounting of the things he had seen and the things he had learned.
