I’m Erik Charter, a middle-aged, midwestern guy who likes to post stuff dealing with books, movies, music, and a bit of theology & other stuff. The main reason I post stuff is so that I can actually throw away some of the newspaper clippings & magazine articles that I would otherwise accumulate indefinitely! I live in a van down by the river, rarely shower, and consider deodorant to be optional, which cuts down on those pesky social interactions. When I make it into town I do attend Sunday services at a United Reformed Church.

Erik, you’re an accountant. Are you following the tangled financial situation of Calvin College? “We spent beyond our means,” I think they’ve said. Anyone interested can start at thebanner.org for
overview.
I hadn’t heard about that.
