    I Am An American

    August 20, 2025 - By ginny

    If ICE shows up when my lawn guys are working, I will go out with my walker and shout at them to get off my property, and demand to see a warrant. I will make one hell of a racket, and my immigrant neighbors are welcome to video it all.

    There Goes Salt Lake, Bulldozing My Memories Again. / Post.

    December 14, 2022 - By ginny

    The church I attended as a kid is being torn down, the people are now renting space from the Episcopal church down the street. As I’m now Episcopalian, but taking a break from weekly attendance, I’m feeling very off-balance about this.

    I may dabble in mask making again… singing without a mask is too damn risky

    May 1, 2022 - By ginny

    Masks for singers: design specializations for breathability, filtration, fit and acoustics based on the science of singing, particles & COVID. — Read on makermask.org/constructing-masks-for-singers/amp/ Someone at church contracted Covid during Holy Week; we’ve relaxed mask requirements, but now that seems risky. Especially for those of us in the choir, and though we have “singers’ masks,” they’re not very good. Meanwhile, infection rates are trending upward, a young family member tested positive, and an older family member has an upper respiratory infection (not Covid). It seems to me that we’ll see a summer spike as people attend large events – we’re…

    Stress-Induced Total Immobility Syndrome: Too Much SITS, not enough getting ‘er done (till now).

    September 17, 2017 - By ginny

    Here’s one of my church chums giving the sermon today, in a badass ensemble consisting of a prayer stole or preaching stole and a fine Cubs T-shirt. We’re still in Summer Casual mode at Holy Moly. When I’m under pressure and feeling overwhelmed, I SITS around a lot watching TV, goofing around on Twitter, and sending texts and postcards to random Congresspeople and government departement secretaries. Yesterday, I was up against a hard time limit and solved a technical issue with one of my website/blogs that’s been frustrating me for months. So, finally, I went back to church at Holy…

    Liberal Christian Ponders Stuff

    August 28, 2017 - By ginny

    I haven’t been to church in weeks. Months. This is unusual, because I like going to church, singing, seeing people. My reasons are very trivial: I am responsible for the church website and it needs to be updated, but to do that I need to sit at my desk rather than recline on the couch or in bed. And I don’t want to dig into my photos, revamp stuff, and create a tutorial for how to update the church website for interested persons who don’t know anything about WordPress. At least, not right now. And I don’t want to be…

    Why be Episcopalian?

    October 4, 2015 - By ginny

    THE MAGAZINE by Lisa Fischbeck “I don’t have any desire to be an Episcopalian. I just like the Church of the Advocate,” says the man who has been coming to the Advocate for 5 years. The Bishop’s visitation is ahead, and I’m trying to identify people who might want to get confirmed. from Pocket http://ift.tt/1KUgXmK via IFTTT
