I shall be attending a Walk to Emmaus at Resurrection Center between Crystal Lake and Woodstock this weekend.

This tee shirt logo was worn by one of my fellow team members last Saturday.

There will be posts for the next three days, which I hope you will find interesting, including the Sun-Times legislative questionnaire.

But don’t expect breaking news.

Just think about no clocks, no phones, no internet, no news (except maybe the front page outside the dining hall) until Sunday night.

You can be sure I shall be in deep withdrawal.

It reminds me of my going to Boy Scout camp in New York's Catskill Mountains in 1956, right after my family moved to Middletown, New York.

A news junkie since the Korean War, during which I watched the line move up and down the map each night on black and while television news, that last week week of June I missed the Polish uprising.
