So. I didn't consciously give up blogging for Lent. I got hung up on writing a nice wrap-up piece on Carnival (theme - ordinary people), then started working on the 2 New Orleans presentations for church and my paper for CCCC in New York this week

As one of those dreaded "liberal" catholics, I missed Mass today and was kinda sad about it. I added more coins to my operation rice bowl bowl but that really wasn't enough. I loved this photograph of the backs of the priests.

Rose vestments

The photo is from a spiky Anglican parish in San Diego. It”s apparently a fairly new acquisition for them. I wonder how many sets of rose vestment are in use these days? I remember Matisse’s rose chasuble (for the chapel at Vence) was in the Vatican exhibit at the ’84 World’s Fair. I was looking for a photo of that when I came upon this image.

And the Thin Mints were wonderful.

Hmm. .. if you say "between the last frozen claw of winter and the humid, hot dragon's breath of summer," you'll sum up *both* your feelings and my feelings about Michigan weather in one sentence! (I'm sure we could work in a few more clauses and do Faulker proud.)

Hope to see you in NY!

You say “hot dragon’s breath” like it’s a bad thing! Yes, I’ll be in New York, presenting Friday morning. Hope to see you amidst the madness.
