Samain Moving Moon
11 seasons and 3 episodes of Midsomer Murders. We made a valiant effort to complete the full 15 seasons while still in Minnesota, but we have failed. It will be a thread of continuity from our recent time here.
Pack, Pack, Pack. Watch the British kill each other. Watch Chief Inspector Barnaby figure out who did what to whom. It’s been a good segue to sleep since, as I understand it, the mystery novel is all about restoring order to a chaotic world. In the life of the well-mannered Midwesterner there is no chaos like move chaos. Barnaby gave us hope.
At Groveland tomorrow I’m ending my ministerial career, begun in 1971 at United Theological Seminary in New Brighton, continued with my ordination in 1976 to the Presbyterian Ministry and redirected when I was accepted as a UU clergy 20 years later in 1996. I’ve done little since 1991 but preach occasionally (though there was that rouge attempt to re-enter the ministry full time in the late 1990’s) and this will be the last of that. It feels like time to close off this chapter of my life.
This is the dogs next to last night here since they head off to the kennel on Monday. They don’t seem nostalgic. At least not so far.
