I'm glad to be busy, but it's been a long time since I've felt this overwhelmed by the work in front of me.
Sigh.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So the football turned out okay?

So my mother's new minister is installed, and the active part of my weekend is finally over. The music was outstanding, if I do say so myself. Question for the people: Do churches other places have special installation services? This was a whole do, in the afternoon, with a bunch of visiting clergy -- reps from the denomination and different church groups and stuff. The new minister said he thought it's just a New England thing.

Well Methodist churches with the ever revolving ministers, not so much.

Do they get assigned?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Football turned out okay for me, -t, and Steph. I don't know how other people were rooting.

Yep assigned and except for very large churches that a minister grew, usually reassigned every 4-6 years.

Oh yeah, that's a whole different story anyway. Baptists just call a minister to their congregation. It's been four years and two interims! (Mostly it took that long on purpose.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The Nextdoor website (message boards set up for cities/neighborhoods) is super useful, and the one for my neighborhood gets a LOT of posts. But I hate when the "Who else just heard gunshots?" posts show up. (We heard them, too, maybe 5 minutes ago: about 9 shots, split up as 6 shots and then a pause and then 3 more shots, that sounded fairly close, to the south of our house. Someone who lives less than a mile away posted and said they were right by her house.) (And I called 911. I apologized for not having a better sense of where exactly the shots came from, but the dispatcher said it still helps, because when people from different locations call in, they can triangulate it.)
I'm glad we have Nextdoor for stuff like this, but I hate that we need it.

My neighborhood Facebook page is filled with "fireworks or gunshots" posts at all times. People seem much more concerned with asking about this stuff on Facebook than actually calling 911.
Though, it's New Orleans, and no one comes when we call anyway.
