Still here.
We’re getting ready to leave on Saturday for State with Rocky Coast. We haven’t been there since the divine miss M was a five-month-old teething maniac. Who insisted on getting up for the day at 4:45 a.m. In a cottage in which there was someone sleeping in every available room. Good times, that you […]
My daughter is a freak!
Mind you, she typically does not search for them. She looks down and plucks them up like you’d pick a dandelion.

Dear little she-who-is…
I am always observing you and your siblings doing funny and smart and annoying and wonderful stuff, and am forever composing in my head some notes about these precious things, because I know I will forget them. You also love stories about past events so I want to be ready with some details. […]

I’m still standin’…. yeah! yeah! yeah!
“In the summer I have fun in Maine looking for garnets. In the summer I like to go to the swimming pool. I play with bubbles.”

Obama: The Historic Journey, Young Reader’s Edition
The New York Times
A Review for MotherTalk
You know I am an addict of all things Obama. On the one hand that means that I’m not altogether objective about Obamaphernalia. On the other hand, being in the Nation’s Capital I have seen a LOT of Obama stuff, not all of […]
This is a bouquet of paper cranes that a friend and former parishioner delivered to my office… along with an original poem.
Thank you, anne.
I’ve got a little project cooking that relates to resources for worship. If you are a pastor and/or worship leader and wouldn’t mind filling out a short non-scientific survey, drop me a line or comment here.
Back from the Motherland.
I took this picture on a walk to the cross. Anyone know what this plant is? The base of it is very spiky, like a yucca plant.
Had a great time. The women were lovely and very affirming. People are hungry for good liturgy, it seems.
R did a great job, with lots […]
