The second week of our vacation, we got pretty busy with going out to dinner and making like tourists, and after David’s parents and Debbie left on the 27th, David and I kind of slowed down completely and relaxed. Thursday, after they left on their respective flights, we completely bummed out for the day at the condo, as it was overcast and very windy. We barbecued chicken that night on the rooftop deck that we’d bought at the natural foods grocery store across the street, trying to use up some of the massive amount of groceries we still had. Friday,…

The Lead Resolution B033 of the 2006 General Convention The House of Bishops concurs with Resolution EC011 of the Executive Council. This Resolution commends the Report of the Communion Sub-Group of the Joint Standing Committee of the Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates of the Anglican Communion as an accurate evaluation of Resolution B033 of the 2006 General Convention, calling upon bishops with jurisdiction and Standing Committees “to exercise restraint by not consenting to the consecration of any candidate to the episcopate whose manner of life presents a challenge to the wider church and will lead to further strains on…

Monday, September 24th was the 50th anniversary of my debut on this planet. I started this post but ran out of time to finish it on “the day,” and we’ve been busy every day since then. Things are starting to slow down again as we near the end of our stay. It’s really the point of this trip, but when I first started talking about it, Mom was still with us, and I visualized the whole thing with “hope Mom is feeling up to air travel then” as she’d had some problems following her last few trips. So she’s not…

The Swamp: Cleaning up after Bush: It was ‘childrens do learn’ Yes, he said it. The original transcript “cleaned up” after Bush’s grammatical error – a stenographer silently corrected the gaffe. Then the howls of protest forced the White House to say that the “correction” was done in error, and the errant “s” would go back in the official transcript. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are trying to hold up health care for uninsured childrens, while Bush will be battling for billion$ to fund both wars. Apparently, even though childrens do get sick, they must first be protect from the terrorist.…

Ate a “snack dinner” last night and then as eyes were drooping, wrapped up and everyone went to bed in our respective condos. Getting everyone at the airport worked out well, as David’s parents and my friend Debbie arrived within half an hour of each other. We were so bushed from the previous day’s kayaking and capsizing adventure that we’d taken it easy yesterday morning, and…
