BCP Minus Context, plus context.

The debate over the validity of Anglican episcopal consecration from Matthew Parker through the 20th century.

iPod + Apple Wallet for tickets/payments/membership cards would be life changing.

Some of them still have associated AIM handles!

I still have contacts in my phone that i put in my Handspring Visor in the late 90s. I have no idea who some of them are.

The Street Fighter movie looks ridiculous, and I will absolutely be there on opening night.

Tax Day could have a whimsical mascot! Like a break dancing bald eagle or something, idk.

I think the US should make tax day fun. We should have parades and give out free popcorn and hot dogs to celebrate our commitment to civil society. Instead, we just get a stressful homework assignment with the threat of fines if we get the answers wrong.

This is what we call a salad at the Lutheran pot luck.

Estimated to be more than 2,400 years old, one alerce tree in Chile’s Alerce Costero National Park hosts about twice as much fungal diversity underground as younger alerce trees, a team of researchers found news.mongabay.com/2026/04/chil...

I’ll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up.

A bologna sandwich is a hot dog.

I did an MDiv at a Lutheran seminary. We had two courses on liturgy, plus an additional three interdisciplinary courses that were designed to situate the sacraments and preaching in a liturgical context.

It would be funny if Leo brought back the Index Librorum Prohibitorum and this were the only book on it.

#OpeningDay climatology for Brewers fans, from the Wisconsin State Climatology Office.

E-I-E-I-D’oh (the Tomacco episode) put me off new Simpsons episodes for almost a decade.

*Les Misérables

Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, wearing a cream-colored cardigan with dark blue fish motifs.

My wife loves her fish cardigan so much, she is knitting one for herself.

I’m remembering a coworker from a job I had right out of college who brought a paperback copy of Les Misérable to work every day and read it on his 15 minute break.

When I was in elementary school, the teachers gave us a designated “silent reading time” when we could read whatever book or magazine we wanted, and I think we should have this at work, too.

He seems to have some kind of beef with therapy, too.

If one is going to make an argument about how interiority emerged recently, I can’t imagine why one would start with Freud, of all people. Maybe he is trying to discredit the idea of the uncanny.

I’ve been so happy to be able to get top-slice rolls from Pepperidge Farm at supermarkets in Michigan recently, but I still think the cheap Hannaford store brand rolls are the best.

The red natural-casing dogs on fried frankfurter rolls are the thing I miss the most after 17 years living away from Maine! I can get the right kind of rolls now, but the hot dogs are just not the same.

Ladies’ Paradise by Émile Zola

Next year’s congress should cancel the SOTU and ask for a written report, with a heading for each agency, instead. This would be helpful as a reminder that this is properly part of congress’s oversight function.
