On the way back from Indonesia in August I made a stop in Japan to see our son Brian and his family and, hopefully, catch a glimpse of the iconic Mt. Fuji.
A visit to the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center in Shizuoka was a very good place to start.
Just a month and a half before the 60th anniversary of his death, I had the privilege of visiting The Kilns, the home of C.S. Lewis in Oxford.
First stop was Holy Trinity Church – Headington Quarry, down at the end of this lane.
The longest trip of a busy travel year found me crossing the pacific. My last trip, I was just south of the arctic circle. This trip took me just south of the equator, 12 time zones away…
to Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.

In March the big stories are high school basketball tournaments and the Iditarod.
The story of my 2023 Alaskan adventure began in 2018 when I accidentally ran into KICY radio station manager Patty Burchell at the Urbana Student Missions Conference.
