At least your fellow choristers spare the pieces being practiced and performed, as far as I can tell. In my youth, a fellow who stood next to me in church youth choir changed a phrase of a hymn from “no turning back” to “my aching back” during a church service.

We laughed our way through again last night. A good bit of it was over this word, alloy, in a really old anthem (it has nothing whatever to do with a mixture of metals, and just seems totally unexpected as well as odd); one person in particular gets the giggles over it every time, to the point where even our director did, which of course sent the rest of us off. And again when a tenor said...but first I have to explain that over 300,000 homes and businesses lost power Sunday afternoon (mine came back this afternoon) thanks to Hurricane Ike. So everybody everywhere I go has been talking about it: is yours back on yet? Wonder how long it will take? Etc. So one time when somebody mock-complained about something, this guy says, "Gee, I guess you want electricity with that, too." And we all just rolled!

So a few days on cardgames and candle light? Alloy ;We have allooi in use, meaning fig. 'nature', 'sort ' "do not seek the company of friends of bad allooi" (fits in a churchy setting well enough) I'm glad for you you see the light again!

I've always been so impressed by these two newspaper pictures. I have them pinned to the wall since their day of appearance. power-transmission

Oh, cool! I mean, not that the power pylons were destroyed, but, since they were, it does make an interesting composition. I too thought the bottom one looked like a large stick bird, but bent double with the top of its head touching the ground. And! I saved The Paleontology Portal to my Favorites!!

Whoa! Some of the fossils in the Silurian pages came from the Falls of the Ohio State Park, right here in the river at Louisville!!!
