In this episode we discussed some listener questions — and then took off on wild tangents until we ran out of time! Topics covered include: vegetarianism, Carmelites and red meat, the nutritional cravings of cows and human women, the qualification process to become a hermit, an update on Ann’s kombucha habit, and an extended discussion on popular music, Sacred music, and opera. Oh — and “Ball Mason” jars are a thing…

In this episode SuperNerd recounts the trip to San Diego he and his wife took recently, with particular emphasis on San Diego’s connections to the events of September 11, 2001, and lots of commentary stemming from getting a chance to tour an Independence-class LCS (Littoral Combat Ship). And as usual, many tangents developed. Finally we concluded with some thoughts and recommendations for Lent (like putting your phone in airplane mode for 55 minutes of every hours — the reduced distractions are amazing!).
