A Nice Thing Happened (Why do good things happen to good people?)

  Well we're excited because Climber's new song, "Stop That Holy Dance" was on the radio for the first time.  Jaime was kind enough to play it on her watch on 94.7fm.  She even said so...

Is there anything new under the sun?

Who ever tired of seeing something new?  The eyes of man never tire of seeing, and the ears never tire of hearing.  Well, I was reading a bit of Pascal's "Pensees", and came upon a thought o...

Rehearsing new songs
