Leonard's 72-hour AIO Marathon Updates

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Bernard and Eugene's ROAD TRIP!!!!
Image
Eugene-"Well, the sequence of events occured with extreme rapidity, but I shall attempt to recall them. I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."
Isaac-"You mean, you crashed into this bush cause I got in your way."
Eugene-"Well, that of course is another way of expressing it." Isaac the Benevolent

Alright, I'm getting sick now, and and I'm fading fast. I lasted 46 hours. Thanks once again to everyone who donated, prayed, called, and supported this effort. With one last big donation, the final amount raised is 2000$!!! Praise God!

I would guess that at 46.5 hours, I still probably hold the record for longest time listening to Odyssey without a single second of break.

I don't even know you, Leonard, but I just read through all 5 pages of your long adventure... from several weeks ago. Great work. I'm impressed! What a daunting task that would be great to be a part of.
I do what I do.

Thank you very much Glenn, and I must say that I appreciate your underrated character. I really liked Glenn Adams.
