Eden's England Escape
My blogger friend Dawn Eden has left on a "Chesterton Pilgrimage," a 10-day tour of England led by American Chesterton Society president Dale Ahlquist. This is Dawn's first extended vacation in six years and I suspect that she'll return with some fascinating stories.
In the meantime, her blog layeth not fallow, as she has invited her mom and stepdad to fill in as guest bloggers. They've agreed to do so, and you should see what they're sharing with us: nothing less than their life stories! Each day, we get to see a glimpse into the pasts of a couple of very talented, intelligent and articulate people who, like Dawn, are Jews who claim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It makes for compelling reading, painfully so in places; you'd do well to check it out.
I am somewhat concerned that Dawn doesn't quite have the hang of this vacation thing, though. In today's update (no permalink), she is reported to have been pleased to find that the Continental Airlines flight to England provided reading material in the form of "The Weekly Standard" and "The National Review." Well, whatever sparks your plug, but for me, a transcontinental flight enroute to a 10-day vacation is the perfect time to break out a tawdry paperback novel, preferably of the sci-fi or punk-hacker genre. Perhaps Dawn feels the need to stay sharp around her fellow GKC pilgrims.

Ms. Goldstein can do what she likes, but I prefer to take my vacations in the only known country where, "We hold these truths to be self-evident ...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
...as opposed to patronizing the very monarchist-ridden dungheap that did its level best to suppress those rights.
But that's just me.
