Ah yes, this was omitted per the specification and replaced with “demi-glace emitter”.

Oh just one thing – I looked over the stop tablets and couldn’t find a “gravy dispenser” anywhere.

Since I am not seeking ordination, it won’t be an issue. I’m not even sure I would want to be on the Vestry; my volunteer plate is pretty full.

You know, the Episcopal Church doesn’t ordain “unrepentant gastronomes.” Oh, wait… yes they do.

Well, to borrow your term, I long ago “used the button” and dumped FB, mostly for privacy reasons rather than any sense of…blasé. I therefore found that article interesting. Did you read it?

You know how these social trends go. My basic take on it is it is going the way of Myspace, which someone I know noted that it is more or less a “snapshot of the web in 2003″ and is now largely dead but for bands and tweens, etc. Cameron Carpenter has a huge Myspace following.

One thing that irritated me was that I could not entirely delete my account rather than deactivate it. The awkwardness of denying friend requests, de-friending (don’t you love how FB made “friend” a verb?) and the level of, shall we say, social “exposure” was more than I wanted to deal with. It also came at a time when I was making a personal decision to withdraw from certain other online social activities (the pipe organ forums) and I know that’s something you in particular had no stomach for.

Of course I realize these statements might seem ridiculous coming from someone who has two websites and still uses Twitter. One of the sites is a requisite, and the personal one is really nothing more than an online scrapbook. And as time goes on I think more and more about dumping Twitter.
