The Crimson Rambler: The Kraken Wakes (or at least, turns over and groans)
http://crimsonrambler.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-kraken-wakes-or-at-least-turns-over.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. The Kraken Wakes (or at least, turns over and groans). A short post this evening, just to say I'm still alive; coming to the end of my third "time" with St. Curious, later this week, with no very concrete prospects for further work after June 30. Actually, I prefer the term "employment" (old joke). Ideally, I would just sit down in a quiet, well-lit, place, and read, and read, and read, and read. But I'm not there yet.

The Crimson Rambler: The Mysteries of ... Radicchio.
http://crimsonrambler.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-mysteries-of-radicchio.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. The Mysteries of . Radicchio. OK, I've just got a whole THANG going on here about radicchio, this week. Bear with me. Almost the first thing I learned, reading Jennifer McLagan's Bitter. Now if you've ever worked at or been served by a foodbank, you probably know that the array of comestibles provided is often. eclectic? I mean, really? But last week, the Strange Thing du jour. Nutritious, EXPENSIVE good food mind you. So i don't know what the answer is. Part of me wants to set...

The Crimson Rambler: January 2014
http://crimsonrambler.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 12, 2014. All right, here we go. Nothing so stimulating as getting up to write the sermon at seven in the morning - that would be, SUNDAY morning. Just a little more of the Evel Knievel atmosphere about this than I quite like, but it's done, it'll preach. And I've responded to that by concocting the ham/onion/jalapeno two-egg omelette, with home-made tomato ketchup on the side, and 1.5 home-made lattes, and a palmful of rattly pills - time to find a clean black shirt and be gone. I spent ...

The Crimson Rambler: June 2014
http://crimsonrambler.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. And a glimpse of Thing #2. Grandma played with me all morning, and now I am just 'zosted.". Grandma could use a bit of a nap also! Monday, June 23, 2014. Goin' on a TRIP". The #1 granddaughter is getting equipped for her new status as a Conscious Traveller later this summer. You see her above, getting into the skin of the role. I hope travel is as much fun for her as it has been for her Grandma. Who knows. But it's quite funny, I think. Then a limo to the conference centre, and a r...

The Crimson Rambler: pressing on...
http://crimsonrambler.blogspot.com/2015/07/pressing-on.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. I managed to find the Actual Canajun Flag, eh, and its flagpole, and hang it on the front of the house in a truly Rural Illinois manner. This is about the extent of my proactive patriotism at the moment. I continue to "shop in the fridge" for the makings of my meals- too often in the past my practise has been to do a Monster Grocery-Shopping expedition, and then, exhausted, take myself out to eat.

Saturday, January 3, 2015. Happy New Year, Happy Feast of Whoever It Is, oh, William Passavant? Nah, going with The Most Holy Name. As a discipline, hello, I'm back. We'll see what comes of this (and how long it might take). I need to finish reading Martin Marty, The Mystery of the Child. And make useful reading notes on it. Clear the dining room table (AGAIN), clear my desk, clear the end table next to the rocking-chair, purge the vegetable bins in the fridge. And thus, the Retired Life. Rev Dr. Mom.

The Crimson Rambler: August 2013
http://crimsonrambler.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 17, 2013. Sermon time again, with some very obtuse angles among the lections. Isaiah here turns to a second “mode” of announcing God’s message to the people of Israel/holding up a mirror to the people of Israel (two-part process). Here he chooses to sing them a kind of parody of a grape-harvest song. You know the sorts of hymns we sing at Thanksgiving, “Bringing in the Sheaves” – what if we wrote a hymn about a harvest that failed? What a shock it would be. So what happens now? We have m...
