what was I going to say?

Oh, well there are dishes.

And I haven't practiced the flute.

I'm reading The Moor's Last Sigh, by Salman Rushdie. He reminds me of Eco. And Borges.

But the thing I can remember that I wanted to say was that I went to my second service at the Unitarian Meeting House last Sunday. I even remembered to write a donation check (I was going to give $2, but I would have had to go to the ATM, and that would have taken too much time, and I don't want them to think I'm giving them 10,000 years worth of condoms, so...). I gave 'em $5. I figure I make it in good faith. $2.50 a pop, or maybe more.

They had 2 people leading the service, talking a bit, or around, eco-spirituality. But it came back to the same thing of being connected to the world. That made me look at the trees outside.

There was a guy playing a wooden Japanese-y flute for music, so no organ music to freak me out. The choral did 1 piece called Fences that, seriously, these people weren't made for.

But overall it was really nice, and I found myself very happy to be there. They led a good meditation, too.

They're expanding the building, and the architects are going to be taking a tour of Tal., and I'm going to be 1 of the tour leaders. This came through work, not through the Unitarian Mtg Hse.

Oh, and afterwards I went to the nearby Borders bookstore, bought some cards to send for the holidays, and briefly checked out a new FLLW biography. It's written by a Pulitzer-prize winner for the "Penguin lives" series. I'll have to read it when it comes out, but I was livid because:

there are no photos

there is no table of contents
AND THE WORST:

There does not appear to be an index or a bibliography

Oh god. Oh Frank. I'll have to see it again and see if I was not mistaken. Oh, Frank help us if I'm right.

I've been listening to the classical music station lately and it always makes me want to play my flute.

The music service at work always has amazing flute pieces. i think it's because the sound travels better, so you can turn the music down lower & people still get a sense of it.
