“Web Site Story”

Unitarian Universalist minister and blogger James Ford (Monkey Mind) posted a video — a very funny video — from The Onion. But let’s be clear: everyone I know had already seen it. But it’s the summer, it’s hot, I’m tired and it was still funny. So if you missed “Web Site Story” from last August, [...]

Every day is like All Souls

Today is All Souls Day, but let me let you in on a secret: I’m especially happy today because Hubby and I are going to see Morrissey in concert tonight. I know there are other Morrissey and The Smiths fans out there: what are your favorite songs? Comment away. I’ll chime in if others do. [...]

Scott Wellses of the world unite and take over

I’m only musing, amused. I’ve mentioned before I have an extraordinarily common name. I shouldn’t have been surprised when on Facebook a string of total strangers — each named Scott Wells — wanted to be my friend. Sure – why not? Now I’m one of five members of Scott Wells’ Unite. I don’t approve of [...]

The healthy, sustainable diet

26 May. This article still attracts a lot of traffic, probably from search engine results. It seems rather topical given the widely reported projected increases in the price of food and petroleum products and the conflict between the human food and ethanol fuel uses for corn. I’ve also updated the PeaceBang link. The Rev. Victoria [...]

Walking in the home of the brash, outrageous and free

Londoners and visitors — whether or not they go to Sloane Square — can turn to a new site — walkit.com — for detailed point-to-point walking directions, calorie burnings and CO2 savings. Sometimes walking is faster and more convenient than public transit or even taxis. The BBC has a 2006 story on it, too. There’s [...]

Sorry hun, them’s the breaks

PeaceBang, I knew it was just a matter of time. Today she wrote (“Why I’m getting more Calvinistic“): I just don’t think we can’t be trusted with just plain Self-Culture in the manner that Emerson preached it, and toward which Channing and Henry Ware, Jr.’s optimistic Christianity pointed us. Yeah, that’s what I said a [...]

“Celebrating Life” best for bookshelf

One of the things that baffles me is how there is no UUA or UUMA commended special services (aka pastoral offices) book. Perhaps the seminary custom of compiling one makes it a risky proposition. In any case, one book has been invaluable with my non-church-going grandmother’s simple memorial and the wedding for the coolest couple [...]

Moz’s new album fabu

Hubby got Morrissey’s new album (released today, er yesterday, April 4) and is true to Il Depresso’s form. A bit less pop-y, though. I love it, love it, love it. I even love the title.

A real epic cycle, please

This is my one and only posting about the new Star Wars film. A bunch of people whose blogs I read have shared a “I won’t spoil the movie, but . . . .” convention, to which I reply: Try and spoil it, but I think Lukas beat you to it. In any case, I’m [...]
