We ask that these be faxed directly to our news desk at (312) 899-8019. Thank you!

    My Week: Cold, Busy, Cold, Busy, Cold

    It’s been another busy week for me – not in physically running around… no, wait, there was some of that – or in being cold all the time (just most of the time). At work, they’ve implemented a pretty much required cross-train, cross-skilled policy, and basically with next to no training we’re taking “online” calls – these are calls in regard to existing reservations that were booked using the various online booking tools we have for corporate clients. So they occasionally require a little human intervention in the case of cancellations and changes. In some ways, I actually like talking…

    Note the Rhino

    WorldRider: Journey of Adventure & Discovery Worldrider Allan Karl is in Africa, and having left his BMW “Doc” at the shop, he’s on safari. Photos like this are typical – his blog WorldRider has amazing stuff all the time about travel, food, new friends, and scenic wonders. This one is particularly stunning, and as he helpfully notes, “note the rhino.” [tags]WorldRider, rhino[/tags]

    Hypocrisy and Opportunism: The Bad Bishop Again

    The Zimbabwe Independent – The Leading Business Weekly Newspaper I THINK recent developments at the Anglican Cathedral and Greendale parish clearly show the difference between Bishop Nolbert Kunonga and Bishop Sebastian Bakare: one is a thug and the other a true spiritual leader.The public needs to know that the hype about homosexuality is real hypocrisy and opportunism on the part of Kunonga. Before he clutched onto this he had suggested as an agenda item to the provincial secretary that the Province of Central Africa should be dissolved as a sign of respect to Archbishop Bernard Malango who was retiring at…

    More Gifts

    There’s also a classic chalice and paten in silver that we’re hoping to bundle off to a new home. I’m hoping for more items to be added, but we’re a blended church family and I don’t need the Altar Guild coming after me looking for their swag.

    The Gifts of God for the People of God

    Closeup of a set of Eucharist vessels from St Nicholas that have been there since it the church was founded – they must have been donated, as they’re dated from several years before the year ground was broken. St Nick’s is a small Episcopal parish in Elk Grove Village, IL. It was designed by a well known Chicago architect called Edward (Ned) Dart, who also designed the former Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. Both small missions merged on New Year’s Day, 2007. We need program space, and we don’t have a lot of storage space, and some duplicate items… so it’s…

    Great, This’ll Be A Fun Topic At the Next Family Gathering

    Build-A-Bear’s private information seduction system – Boing Boing Cyberlawyer Denise Howell sez, “As far as I could tell, the same parents driving themselves to distraction with fear over their evening chardonnays about MySpace and FaceBook are willingly helping their kids fork over a slew of personal data when they visit Build-A-Bear. It’s hard to fault them too much though, as the computers there masquerade as anything but a corporate info-racket.” Read on for a slightly sobering look at the world of cybermarketing to kids: Mom and Dad don’t worry too much about personal information getting into the hands of marketeers…
