A DVR.\u00a0 Hadn’t planned on getting one, but the hdmi connection with the TV demanded it over the HD converter box alone.\u00a0 Surprise.\u00a0 I like it.\u00a0 Already I’ve taped two movies, Cronicas and Killer of Sheep.\u00a0 When I’m watching a movie, I prefer to start at the beginning and the start times of movies often don’t conform to my schedule.\u00a0 In the past I would check the replay schedules and try to find a time that worked or I’d skip it.\u00a0 Now I can press the record button and the DVR records the movie and I can replay when I wish.\u00a0 Kate’s also used it to tape a TPT series, Jewish Americans.\u00a0 Guess you never know.<\/p>\n
No more tours until March.\u00a0 I have ten days before I go to Dwelling in the Woods, days I’ll use to finish the garden planning, edit my sermon for Groveland and produce a 1-page Transcendentalism for Brights, work on my new novel and a short story.\u00a0 Also, I’ll do the various pre-trip preparations like stopping the newspaper, the mail, reserving a ride on the Airport Shuttle, packing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also\u00a0have to plan a one-hour presentation to the brothers, something I want to share with them, a passion or a part of my life right now.\u00a0 Could be anything.\u00a0 We switched to this format last year and we liked it.\u00a0 The way we’d done it before involved a focus on a theme and a common thread in what we presented:\u00a0 Fathers, Mothers, Death, Myth.\u00a0 Last year we had a theme, Darkness, but the suggestion was to present the theme in a creative manner.\u00a0 I chose a ritual of darkness which involved reading poetry excerpts (Dover Beach, The Night by Rilke, Stopping by the Woods on A Snowy Evening that sort) and, in a room lit only with candles, extinguishing a candle with each reading.\u00a0\u00a0 This year, don’t know yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
