Well, I pulled up some photos and printed up some "nature cards" and told them about the God's beautiful miracle: the monarchs and their migration.

Coincidentally, Marilyn made some butterfly cookies for the coffee hour, so it looked like we coordinated it.

Maybe she baked them knowing you were reading today's storyteller.  When I see butterflies now I think of you.

And now...

It's 9:18 pm here in Austin, and I have to stay up until 11:30 to do Gregg Hunter's The World Of Entertainment radio show, which will air on the Pacific Coast at 9:30.

Now, if I can just stay awake.

The installation service was extremely nice - I was so proud of the Vixter we have any number of assisting ministers, deacons, communion assistants, council members- the Vixter was the only lay person asked to read - everyone else was an ordained minister - and she was as poised and clear and articulate as any of them!

One particularly nice thing -- the Vixter actually attends the youth group at a different church  than our own - (the Presbyterians).... the minister there is a wonderful man and has taken an active interest in our search for a minister - he attended the installation this afternoon - it was such a pleasant  surprise to see him there     

I have been mentioning the Prebyterian minister to our new Pastor and suggested that they should meet and I am so pleased thah they now  have plans to meet and discuss ways our churches can work moe closely together -  we already work together on  free community dinner once a week and now the two youth groups are getting togther  next week


for the first time in years I'm feeling excited and happy about the direction my church is taking

I am so glad you had such a nice day Elmore -- it was nice to come home to your voice on our machine tonight as well!

[Laura]

It's exciting to feel excited about church, Vixmom. 

[Laura]

Our minister was out of town, so our speaker today was the district moderator. I see him a lot at all these district meetings I go to. I have no idea what he thought about my story.

[JoseSPiano]

I am soooooo loving tonight's episode of "Mad Men". 

[Michael]

I just read that Cammie King died earlier this month.  She only did two movies of note and one was just a voice performance.

[Cillaliz]

Good Evening!

And which Food Truck are you rooting for?

The one that won!

[Cillaliz]

Although I would like to try the food of the truck that came in second

[Cillaliz]

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.  The audit will be fine, I just hate this sort of stuff. Then I have a full day and 2 meetings after work so it's going to be a long day.

[Cillaliz]

Glad you had a good day Elmore!

[John G.]

As to any elmore regrets in our working relationship - not a one.  Frustrations, of course.  Regrets, none, because in the end the work is so good that that's all that matters.  Sometimes art isn't easy, but when you're working with people who know their stuff, one deals with it and then years later all that's left is the wonderful art.

I wish a world full of people would realize this and get their overinflated egos out of their work relationships.

I just had a very depressing morning.  I had to turn down, not one, not two, but three TV commercials from my agency.  All of them were for political ads, and as a State Employee, I am not allowed to participate in political activities of any kind - even as paid talent.

I didn't know that.  That's too bad.

[John G.]

John G., I guess I also missed the fact that you were traveling.  Continued travel vibes.

Thank you.

[John G.]

Today I was trying to get the damn books to balance (I can't find $12.67)  anyway there was this huge BOOM!!! that sounded like it was right outside the window.  The cats and I all jumped.  I looked out and my neighbor was out there with his girlfriend. I asked what happened and he said "A squirrel just blew up the transformer"    I ran outside and there was the poor squirrel laying dead at the bottom of the telephone pole.  Apparently when a squirrel grabs the grounded wire without letting go of the hot wire, they blow the fuse on the transformer and get zapped.   It was a bit disturbing.  I'm surprised that the squirrel wasn't blown to smitheens the noise was SOOO loud~

Instant squirrel brains for dinner! Yum! That's what we'uns from Kentucky like to eat.

I really wish I could say the same. My church has become so political that sometimes it feels as if I'm going to a Tea Party meeting rather than a service. I am probably going to have to search for a new church home when I return from vacation, which bothers me because I have so many good friends there. Yet I don't go to church to hear jingoistic blather about the country.

[John G.]

I could use one of those margaritas right now, DR Elmore.

[John G.]

Interview Vibes for Druxy

Ditto!

[John G.]

Sorry about the acting gigs, DR TCB. That's a shame, but I understand where the gov is coming from on this one. When I worked for newspapers, we couldn't even put a campaign sticker on our cars or in our front lawns. All we could do was vote, and some papers really don't want their reporters to do that.

10:20...and I'm still awake.

 

Most nights, I turn off my lights right after Jay Leno's monologue...and he comes on at 10:30 here in Texas.

[John G.]

Just saw a job posting for a Red Bull marketing person. One of the requirements: "Lives and represents the Red Bull brand." Now that's asking a little much, isn't it? Or is that why I don't have a job, because I refuse to "live" the brand.
