Oddwalk returned today from a quick trip to Anaheim, CA, to give a workshop at this years National Catholic Educators Association (NCEA) convention. While we were there, we had breakfast with a friend of ours, Bob Rice and his son, John. We twitpic-ed each other with our iPhones and Tweetie. It was fun and awesome.…

Let’s Go Blues! (Beat that other team from… Canada? Yeah, that’s it.)
Being from in and around St. Louis, Oddwalk congratulates the St. Louis Blues on their last minute surge into the NHL playoffs. In the first round they are taking on the Vancouver Canucks.

Mad Dunking Skillz
We have many other photos and stories to tell of our great trip to Hamilton, Bermuda last week – but for now, let’s start with this quick video shot with Orin’s iPhone, proving Oddwalk has so much more to offer than music, storytelling, prayer… Well… We’ll let you be the judge:
