As will be explained in this week’s audio introduction, Goodbye to All That is the name of a fictional television program aired in Canada some years ago. It’s also the title of a novella, included in The Coin Jar, a collection of short stories and a pair of novellas – most of them mine (one is a story written by my late father) available through Amazon.com.

Just a note of caution – this week’s reading lasts roughly half an hour. This pilgrim decided to stop the narrative at what seemed an appropriate spot, and was surprised when the appropriate spot came in at thirty minutes and change.

Until next Thursday…
