I just adore weather…

AND WE’RE HAVING so much of it this year. We don’t get sleet or hail here very often and, since I got here in 1997, I’ve never seen it accumulate. We’re having thunder and lightening. I’ve only heard the former 4 times since 1997. I’ve never seen the latter at all. And a few moments ago all our cellphones went off with a klaxon and then a verbal warning of flash floods “in this area”. That was just before the skies opened up. Very fun.

St Medard, pray for us!

Actually, it is very fun: I love storms with a passion. The Cantor this AM picked the following hymn with which to open the Morning Service. I caught the pastor’s eye and we laughed.

We’ve been in a real drought since 2000… this is wonderful. Nothing is perfect. But this is wonderful.

Doxos is the blog of a Roman Catholic Christian working out his salvation in San Francisco, The California Republic. The first post on Doxos was made in October of 1998. The pages were manually coded. Then there was a “life subscription” to blogger before they sold it to Google. That profile still says 2001. Then there was a thing called “pmachine” and, finally, WordPress. We’re coming up to the 25 Anniversary of this Domain. That’s scary.

Your Host worships here and here. He is a life-professed Dominican Tertiary and studying to be a Roman Catholic Deacon. He also blogs really simple sentences in Hebrew here.

To read a “full profile” on of your host, mash here.

This blog contains a good number of things, sometimes religious, sometimes not. Please remember me in your prayers.

Seduxisti me Domine et seductus sum.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.
(Closing lines of the Táin Bó Cúalnge)
