When is a loch not a loch?

Sunday, July 31st, 2005

Evidently, when it is a reservoir, of course.

What’s up with the Reservoir Dogs lineup of the Scottish Episcopalian prelates?

For a limited time (and a good cause) only

Later. The new Scottish Episcopal church’s website is powered by WordPress, like this blog!

Sidebar improvements

Sunday, July 31st, 2005

Added the categories links back — so you can scan my two-plus years of collected wisdom easily — and I’ll be adding a link for the most recently added comments later today.

PBS program podcasts

Sunday, July 31st, 2005

Religion & Ethics Newsweekly — a.k.a. “the farm report” – now podcasts.

The show’s site

South Carolina Universalists

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Steven R shares thoughts on the origin of South Carolina Universalists at his blog (link added, oops!) and I’m looking to see if I have electronic versions of pictures of Universalist sites to put on the ol’ blog.

I would be nice for others to play along and add local observations. Including, perhaps, a Newberry (SC) […]

Free car free

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Regular readers know Hubby and I don’t have a car any longer, and we’re doing quite well. A couple of people at Day Job act as if were in peril of starvation or social isolation, but that’s far, far, far from the truth. Of course, we live in a very pedestrian- and transit-oriented part of […]

Divers reasons

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

A fluff piece, because I want to maintain daily blogging but don’t want to deflect from the prior posting. (Thanks for commenting, y’all. Thanks too for PeaceBang’s reply.)

So I thought I’d just note — like PB — some of the search engine phrases that brought people here. As a little reminder that there’s a world […]

Watered down?

Wednesday, July 27th, 2005

The discussion at Coffeehour.org that Matthew Gatheringwater started has grown like kudzu in a hothouse, and moved in many different directions. For the record, I am neither more nor less encouraged by the verve and tone. But then again, I’ve been doing this for more than half of my thirty-something life.

One term popped out, a […]

New page on UU best liturgical practices

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

I detest “joys and concerns”, chalice lightings, “Spirit of Life” — indeed, nearly all the customary trappings of mainline Unitarian Universalist worship, but I would rather they be done well than done badly. (True too of announcements in any setting.)

That’s why I give props to Unitarian Universalist Best Practices: Chalices, Joys & Concerns, and other […]

Look out for Latoyia

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

Of course Terrance and others are right: God help you if you’re missing and not female, white, pretty, and rich (or rich-ish). You just don’t exist in the minds of the pearl-clutching edge of the media, which is exactly the crowd that trades in the news of missing people. There’s a smell there akin to […]

Little red book

Monday, July 25th, 2005

As I said, I’m blogging less and writing more. A good feeling. Looking to sites like lifehack.org and 43folders.com, [link fixed] I’m inclined to think paper is the next big thing.

There’s a cachet among neo-paper-geeks (perhaps fetish is more accurate) for the Moleskine notebooks. And, yes, you have to pronounce the name in […]
