M&C

It's way too late tonight to finish watching Master and Commander. Bother. Well, we have the DVD for all week.

So far it's good. Aubrey is lovely. And wow, yes, that IS Pippin in the background. Hobbits in the British navy, how odd.

Now *Merry* would have made sense. He's a Brandybuck, they messed about with boats. But a Took? No.

good news on the church front

I got a call this morning from someone in the church leadership. They had a meeting, and it has been decided they will be making an announcement from the pulpit and notifying the congregation by letters. So I feel a great weight off me. I am glad they are not leaving things to the rumor mill. I much prefer that the actual facts get out.

There are things that have been done that I would have done differently, yes. But those people have the jobs they do, not I. And the things I said Sunday that were the essentials, notifying the congregation of the facts, are being done. In fact, they're even going a bit more dedicated than I'd asked for - I'd have been satisfied with a pulpit announcement and something in the newsletter. So this is good.

Apparently some of the claims the girlfriend were making may not be true. It makes me _very_ glad that I had made a point Sunday when talking to the president that yes, I'd heard these things, but I could not verify them, they were at best hearsay, so no, I did not think it would be appropriate to include them in any announcements, just the verifiable facts. That makes me feel that I kept my head, and glad I don't have anything I feel I need to back down from. I still would like to know verifiably what the terms of the guy's parole were, but I probably never will, and I suppose it isn't necessary. I know he's on the database, I know he's not coming back, and the parents are being warned.

Interesting that I got a call this morning, rather than just hearing with the others. Possibly this means that what I said made a difference in what happened. Or possibly they think I'm a total loose cannon. Hopefully not. I certainly did not *want* to have to make a public fuss, and since they're doing what is necessary I'm very glad I won't have to.

Given comments both here and from people involved about someone like this reforming, I gave some thought to precisely how someone like that could honestly reform and attend a church. It is possible, I thought out the ideal way to do it. This guy sure didn't.

Heaving a huge sigh of relief.

It *would* be an out-of-this-world night...

Okay, is this sorta the equivalent of "FORGET it, you will have NO sex life", or what?

Which of your LJ friends are you most likely to have a threesome with?

Wow, a whole new reason to support development of space travel.

My polite little girl

Maggie has three times today said "thanks" - at least it sounds like that's the word she's aiming at, and it's being used appropriately - without prompting.

Wahoo!

technodreams

I want a computer display that is somehow movable around the room - or at least a flatscreen that is more easily turnable. And I want gloves or some kind of hand jewelry or something that could just let my hands make typing motions without being at the keyboard, for input.

ugh

Okay, enough people I trust had played with the thing - including theferret, who can usually be trusted to tell you if something s a bad idea - that I tried playing with the crush thing (what can I say, bored mom at home), and now it won't go away, so I advise against clicking it.
