Dang if I wasn’t followed by the spy blimp from my apartment to my bus stop. Or rather, the putt-putt-putting blimp was rounding up from Capitol Hill and heading up P Street in the same direction as my bus.
And there it was, over Georgetown when I got out from work. Odd, but perhaps it [...]

Blimp, part two, and Baseball
For spying on gay bars, I suppose
I was one of those Washington residents that all the wire services (here’s a short article from the VOA) say were stunned when they (we) saw the blimp overhead this morning. Goody: first Iraq and Afghanistan, now us.
I’m note sure what else to say about the spy security craft, except that it was almost overhead [...]
Learning Mambo
Quite a white back, I promised a highly placed official in a certain scientist-cum-minister-named subnational jurisdiction in a thrice-vowelled denomination that I would help with their website.
At the rate I was going, church members would have been communicating by telepathy first.
Until now. I’ve been looking for content management software that fit the bill, and [...]
#64487
According to WordCount, [2009. http://www.fabrica.it/wordcount seems to be gone] the word universalist is the 64487th most frequently used word in English, between the marginally more common bukhara, rolston, and standardizing, and the marginally less common emm, routh, and smasher.

More on Weddings
Philocrites writes about an article describing more personalized, non-traditional, and ultimately secular wedding (and other) services. These have been the bread and butter of a good number of Unitarian Universalist ministers, who have been specializing in “custom services” from the days of the Nehru jacket. And sometimes unconsciously with as much bad taste.

Another Chinatown bus
Well, in place of come actual Universalist theology, how about another cheap way to get from Washington to New York?
Another so-called Chinatown bus, and one more helpful for Virginian suburbanites:

From death unprepared for
Current conventional wisdom approves of a quick, peaceful death over one that passes over a duration. While I don’t think anyone would want to linger in a painful death, the recent political murders by decapitation underscores that the best death is peaceful and one where we can meet God in the right time.
The violence [...]
“Cornerstone” done
A happy duty completed. The youth-oriented (but quite readable for adults) biography of John Murray, based closely on the Life of Murray is done:
The Cornerstone

Only five?
I was ordained “to the ministry of the Gospel” five years ago today, by the Canon Universalist Church, Canon, Georgia.
It seems longer than that.
