  1. In the category of “little things I should have said and done”– after walking past Marsh Chapel for more than 30 years, I finally stopped and entered one Sunday this December– it happened to be the holiday service. The choir, the preaching and the whole vibe of the place was just overwhelmingly beautiful. Ocassionally I tune in for the radio broadcast on Sunday–(usually by accident). That too is never disappointing. The accoustics make the church service sound so personal. So…I look forward to more per chance encounters with the sublime –now on a new medium.
