Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Golf on the radio! (not a joke!)

Today is the first day of the new PGA Golf Channel on XM Radio, on XM 146. It sounds like they're starting small. Mon-Fri they'll have an hour long talk show that will get replayed throughout the morning. Then, Thur-Sun they'll have live broadcasts of the tournaments each weekend. This week's event is the Booz Allen Classic in Washington DC. (I believe this used to be the Kemper Open.)

I had lunch with Pastor today, so on the drive up and back I listened in. Fun. I wish I had a way of listening at work. I might have to get another boombox for my skyfi2 and keep it at work.

On the baseball channel, there's a neat show each weekday from 11 to 1 called Baseball Beat, where they talk to baseball writers from around the country. I wish I could listen to that while I'm at work. (XM has an online listening service, but they don't provide most of their talk channels. I suppose there are some rights issues involved.)
