Heh. Brother Causticus had the right idea: pay for the Archbishop's travel to visit we poor benighted colonials instead of his ultra-conservative chums in Africa, via an eBay auction: See American bishops in their native habitat! The bishops of the American Episcopal Church have asked Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to make an unprecedented and long-delayed visit to them in North America to discuss the Current Unpleasantness pre-occupying the Anglican Communion. The Americans assure ++Cantuar that their Christian hospitality will match that of the various fissiparous bishops he has broken bread with on multiple continents. So that the plate…

Windjammer Barefoot Cruises – Sail a tall ship to the Caribbean Tropical adventure and near-perfect weather have lured seafarers and landlubbers to the Virgin Islands for centuries. Even the Gods were seduced … for they blessed this region with zephyr winds that keep Legacy’s sails billowing. From bow to stern, emerald islands, rocky outcrops and pretty yachts dot the panoramic seascape. There’s good reason why the Virgins are called the water sports capital of the Caribbean: the sailing, windsurfing and swimming are first rate. Beach-accessible coral reefs and calm lagoons make for excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. There’s good shopping…

It’s a rainy day in this version of Paradise; Tortola is a pretty dry island and obviously needs the rain, so I don’t begrudge the weather. We got out and did a snorkel sail excursion yesterday, so today wasn’t planned to be anything but perhaps driving around or hiking. Now that it’s raining, it’s looking to be a relaxing day, and we have stuff to make sandwiches if necessary, although we’ll probably get pulled together to get lunch somewhere “out.” Yesterday at almost the last second I booked a snorkel sail with Patouche Charters, as we had left messages on…

2 Fall Off Cruise Ship in Gulf of Mexico | Chicago Tribune GALVESTON, Texas — A man and woman fell overboard from a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico early Sunday, but both were rescued after a four-hour search and appeared to be in good condition, a cruise line spokeswoman said. The 22-year-old man and 20-year-old woman fell 50 to 60 feet from a cabin balcony, said Julie Benson, spokeswoman for Princess Cruises. Friends and family can heave a sigh of relief, or perhaps of frustration; David and I didn't go overboard. We're not that far away, but we…

And now for something completely different: a blog about running a stately home that's part residence, part public museum, and completely amusing: Stately Moans: November 2006 The Cow Whisperer I stood at the gates, trying to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. I’d driven up to the entrance to unlock the gates and had heard something new and interesting. Ah! There! Peering over the hedge I could see the Farmer on his quad bike, attempting to round up his herd of cows. He was not doing terribly well. The cows were forming breakaway groups and scattering to all four…
