Doing a series
A series of graphics with patristic quotes from “The Seven Dedly Sins” compiled by Kevin M. Clarke. June seems a fun time to do a series of patristic quotes on the sin of pride.

Friends in Town
Dear friends, Emma, April, and Taylor were in town last weekend. They visited Holy Trinity Cathedral and that’s where we met to have dinner after. We were joined by the retired Choir Director, Bob. Here are Taylor and Bob walking across the Van Ness with an aging hipster (R-L). April is taking the photo somewhat…

Crocheting Mandalas
I made two of these crocheted circles in ’91 or ’92 while sitting in a very long, very boring staff meeting at 815 2nd Avenue in New York. There was a group of us that did needlework in the back row during staff meetings. The Presiding Bishop once commented that he knew he had made…

Flashback Friday
Here are some pictures from July 7, 2002, and one from Pascha, 2003. I rescued them from the Internet Archive. Everyone’s very young here.

3 Holy Hierarchs
Today is the feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and St John Chrysostom. The story is that the people of Constantinople were trying to figure out which was the greatest. All three appeared in a vision saying “We all teach the same thing.” That should be true of everyone…

King Cake
It’s sugar flavor. One of my two favorite seasonal things to make, the other being cheese pascha. This is what you can do with two cups of flour, a pound and a half of dairy products, and some mincemeat, plus some food coloring and a heck of a lot of sugar. The bread or cake…

Shiviti
Shiviti: a meditation image named for the first word of Psalm 16:8 שויתי shiviti meaning “I have set”: I have set your name always before me. In this image the fire of the Burning Bush is linked with the Holy Name and the Divine Mercy. And we are reminded that we can become – by…

Incarnation
The scriptures say he was like us in all ways except sin. Sometimes people need to be reminded that noisy, messy children are perfectly normal. And as of today, that is as of Christmas, they are also signs of the divine.

Not Trad-giving
My friend Bruce and I started out ith a not-traditional Thanksgiving. The plan was to eat lunch with the folks at Holy Trinity Cathedral (they have an amazing pot-luck) and then, after a bit of a break, I was going to make eggplant parmigiana using the recipe presented in the video below. Bruce decided somwhere…

Out with the old
I promised one more photopost. I’m hyped up on Endorphins and it’s after midnight. But I covered up my old, pre-Christian tattoo with a new one, done by my excellent friend, Jess Jenkins at Red Kestrel Jess and I previously worked together at Patreon. JEss has a gentle hand and a skillful eye. From my…

Not Quite Thanksgiving
We served our thanksgiving luncheon today: turkey (breasts), smashed cheesy potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, cranberries, and a salad. I know canned food drives some folks bonkers, but this was basically normal food for most of my life. The only things missing are pecan pies, biscuits, cornbread, and stuffing. Thus, minus all the extra carbs,…

Gala-had
ST DOMINIC’S had a fundraising gala on Saturday Night to celebrate our 150th Anniversary – and in benefit of our Tower Restoration process. I do not own formal wear so I borrowed something: The kilt, I’m told, is a regional tartan: a clan sort of fading away so, rather than have the tartan vanish entirely,…
