Date at Southdale

Tonight Kate and I found ourselves in the basement of Southdale Mall eating at Marshall Field's Boundary Waters Restaurant.  The mall energy does not penetrate this restaurant, I was happy to discover.  It was a decent place, reasonable prices.  I had the almond encrusted walleye and enjoyed it, but not as much as the walleye I had at the broiler.

After dinner, we saw Starsky and Hutch.  I laughed.  Beyond that, I got nothing much to say about it. The leader of a local band called Har Mar Superstar appeared as a disco dancing contestant, Disco Dave.

Most of the stuff on meditation and Jesus here is lifted straight out of this book, Taking Jesus Seriously- Buddhist Meditation for Christians.  The author of which is John Cowan, who teaches my class and who is a priest at St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Sunfish Lake, MN.

Anyway, I hear that the Archbishop of Canterbury is reading the book now.  He should start a blog so we can all find out how he likes it.

Young Wine is not poured in old wineskins or they might break and aged wine is not poured into new wineskins or it might spoil. (Matt. 9-17) His followers tried to pour his wine into some old wineskins, and the old wineskins of Judaism, Greek Philosophy and Roman organizational principles spoiled the new wine of the reign of God.  Jesus's very own relatives found his message so radical that they thought he was out of his mind.  His wine had to be changed for the sake of the normal palate.
