Use a Frasca or PCATD to stay sharp.

Being "night current" by doing 3 takeoffs and landings at night for the first time in 10 years in a 152 at your home airport make you "current" to carry passengers at night. It does not make you "proficient" to pile the wife and kids into a Saratoga for a night cross country from California to visit grandma in Kansas.
Log for currency. Fly for proficiency. Pray you never confuse the two.
