Spicey Bison meatloaf with chipotle sauce and other reasons to take the train from Cleveland to Omaha for the National Cristo Rey meeting!

Ok, so I am only going to Omaha but it leaves one tenth of the carbon footprint of flying!  I enjoy taking the train...it is for me a retreat, a chance to slow down, read, and yes, even blog!

In 2002 I went to my first national meeting of the Cristo Rey movement.  It was held in the basement of a retreat center in Lincoln Park with 25 people!  This week there will be over 200 people in and out representing 24 existing schools, a few schools about to open in the next few years and several in feasibility stage.  To learn more about the network go to http://www.cristoreynetwork.org/ .

I have come across a really good blog:

It is often about education but not always.  He writes almost daily.  He is a bigwig (or was) at Microsoft.  Well worth a daily look!
