The cathedral in San Antonio, Texas displays a remarkable light show every night. People gather to watch it and they have for years.

Categories: LibsynOn this week’s Keepin It Real, Cam Marston shares what exhausts him and how a good conversation is hard to find. —– It was 1,000 one-minute conversations. A collection of people who all were within a degree, maybe a half a degree, of separation. Hardly a meaningful chat and as the event wore on, the meaningfulness of the chats dwindled further.

Categories: LibsynOn today’s Keeping It Real, Cam recounts his birthday week which has some unexpected surges of happiness. —– Happiness is fleeting. It never lasts and I’m not sure it’s supposed to. It’s different than joy and contentment and pleasantness. Happiness bubbles up from an unexpected place and last such a short time. And when it arrives, it sometimes brings tears.
