    Holly Mullen: Name Editor

    I read just now on her blog that Holly Mullen will now be an editor at the City Weekly, a Salt Lake alternative newspaper. She had been a well-regarded columnist at the Salt Lake Trib, but left in a disagreement over the direction the paper was taking. She is happy about this development. Very happy! And before the news was even official, a former collegue called and got the scoop. And somehow, the Trib has even discovered Holly's unofficial new duty: she is now apparently in charge of editing names. The City Weekly's blog noticed this fact in an early…

    Drat eBay and their policy, bless Brother Causticus and his wit

    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.

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…

    Three Outta Four Ain’t Bad

    This is too funny, and too true. I can't say I've evangelized with the evangelicals, but all three of the other things happens every Sunday, if I go to both services at St Nicholas with the Holy Innocents.  Which I've been doing lately, mostly because as a choir member I enjoy singing both services, as the music is slightly different for each.  Today was especially nice as a young woman with a gorgeous, trained voice sang "Domine Deus," by Antonio Vivaldi. Also, in both services we've been singing a really pretty modern "Kyrie," by Marty Haugen, that has a soft…
