Announcement

If anyone would be interested -

There will be a Diocesan All Souls' Requiem Eucharist on Saturday, Nov 1st, at 7:30pm in St Mark's Cathedral. The choir will sing Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, inspired by Gregorian Chant, with organ, orchestra, and soloists. St Mark's takes music seriously, so there will be people there just for the music as well as remembering those who've left us in the last year. The liturgy will take pains to include those who have died of HIV/AIDS in the last year.

Background: November is the last month of the church calendar. It's a time of rememberance of those who've left us, and contemplating our own mortality and using the time we have well. The month begins with The Commemoration of all the Departed on the 1st (aka All Souls' Day, which has lots of parallels and roots in Samhain) and with All Saints' Day, which celebrates all the believers (known and unknown) on the 2nd.

Be afraid

Cana has learned to hit the "hibernate" button on my computer.

In other news, it's been a pretty relaxed weekend. I did some nesting / cleaning friday and saturday. Saturday night we went to a very entertaining semipro football game - 4 interceptions, lots of turnovers, and a trip to Orlando on the line. It ended 42-20. This morning I went to church, had lunch and went apartment-hunting with Dana, and then vegged.

Tomorrow, I either do laundry or go shopping. Probably the former.

Edit: Corrected final score, added team website link.
