So I will have half of it already. It pays sometimes to have had a colleague and mentor who taught one Hebrew and Yiddish as well as medicine. I think I may well be the most fluent shiksa in NE Missouri.Kirkepiscatoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651684515435040529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-51175082852994973352009-01-09T22:06:00.000-05:002009-01-09T22:06:00.000-05:00I'd love to visit St. Gregory's too, John.

Next time I'm in SanFran I'll have to make sure it happens.<BR/><BR/>Kirke, I'm going to have to go to my favorite Rabbi an ask him for a "Praise by unclogging the church toilet" - AKA "The Jr. Warden's Prayer."<BR/><BR/>Pat - I'm happy to provide more reasons to 'go green'. I walk whenever I can and taken public transportation as often as I can. Although, I confess that the bus is my least favorite option. I put less than 1,000 miles per year on my car - and that's with all my trips to RB. If there were an easy train ride beyond Willmington, I'd be on it every week.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-12239006220580008722009-01-09T21:52:00.000-05:002009-01-09T21:52:00.000-05:00Gerry, Someone sent me a link to the article, so ...Gerry, <BR/><BR/>Someone sent me a link to the article, so I put on asbestos sneakers and my kevlar vest under my long trench coat, put on a long scarf over my head and my dark sun glasses and traveled over their incognito. (Sweet Mr. Melanie Griffith, meek and mild like the Baby Jesus changed the locks and thinks I'm too dumb to find my way over there). <BR/><BR/>I think they think I'm going to say something mean and nasty - as Mr. Kennedy is doing regarding Bishop Gene - but I'm not. (My site meter is spinning out of control - which only happens when the Trolls get a bee in their bonnet.)<BR/><BR/>It's nothing personal. It's not about being good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, God is on someone's side and not another's. It's just property law. <BR/><BR/>This is a very, very sad time for the Kennedy family. Let's honor that and keep them in prayer.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-56088802324290892432009-01-09T15:32:00.000-05:002009-01-09T15:32:00.000-05:00You just gave stellar expression to my new lifesty...You just gave stellar expression to my new lifestyle as a car-free human being. I bus or rapid-rail to work, stores, church, friends. Or I walk, super good for my body, emotions, mind and spirit. <BR/><BR/>I had no idea what I was missing in my car. People ask, "Doesn't it take a lot longer to get there?" "Yessss!" I grin gleefully. The best times of my life now are spent on public transportation. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for helping me see even more benefits. I have been communicating with my HP and people in a whole new way, but you offer even more.Pat Klemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206542501782835734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-55278781765815344452009-01-09T15:17:00.000-05:002009-01-09T15:17:00.000-05:00Hello Elizabeth, this has nothing to do with your ...Hello Elizabeth, this has nothing to do with your post on railroads but I have news from Central NY and no email address for you. <BR/><BR/>Supreme Court Justice Ferris Lebous has apparently ruled in favor of the Diocese and the National Church in the matter of the Church of the Good Shepherd.<BR/><BR/>An anouncement on Blog of the Good Shepherd has no details and the websites of the local media outlets don't have anything yet.<BR/><BR/>Looks like this chapter is approaching resolution.<BR/><BR/>Gerry Houghgerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992216957664459649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-4095418506583055712009-01-09T14:00:00.000-05:002009-01-09T14:00:00.000-05:00I have always found it fascinating that the word "...I have always found it fascinating that the word "praise" in Hebrew actually covers about 6 or 7 different words..."praise with your mouth," "praise with your hands,", "praise by davening (bowing)," etc. But in English it just all gets translated as "praise."<BR/><BR/>Kind of like how the Inuit have all those words for "snow."<BR/><BR/>That's a good reminder to me.

It was very beautiful, and I promised myself I would worship there if I ever get to San Francisco.
