Friends and Clowns

For the last couple days I met an old clergy friend at a campsite outside of Madison, WI. Tim and I along with my good friend Steve did the Newly Ordained Clergy Seminar many years ago together, back when that was common. Tim, now retired, has been bugging me for years to meet up and I could not pass up the opportunity to do just that, so I found a good campground that worked and made plans. 
It is interesting how quick it is when connecting with an old friend to pick up on where you left off. And we did just that! It was fun to talk and catch up.  Sharing stories of our crazy presbyteries and the wonderful churches we work with.  
We also took advantage of this beautiful state to take a drive and see what was there. While we were staying in Lodi, our drive brought us to Baraboo. I wanted to go do the distillery there. I don’t know if it is the official state drink or not but the old fashion is a staple I have seen most of the distilleries
