I've been taking pictures of my son with his friends before we move to make a photo album for him, and yesterday he asked me to take a picture of him with his favorite tree. Because of course he has a favorite tree.

So the fact that the Achaeans left us a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a wooden horse, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the prophet Laocoön and his sons that they insist we don’t bring the horse inside the walls of Troy. Laocoön is an Aegean-class Loser!!! MIGA

So far I've packed up thirteen boxes of books to sell/give away. Getting rid of books might be the biggest challenge I have.

On the topic of moving, I would love to know if any of you are near Central Kansas or have Episcopalian contacts in that area. It would be nice to have some people to connect with since I haven't lived in Kansas in thirty (😮) years. ⚓

A quick update: I've made the decision for my son and me to move back to be with my parents. On the one hand, it was an extremely difficult decision; on the other, it really didn't feel like a decision at all. I'm grieving over leaving my friends, church, and neighborhood.

“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the theme for this year’s Met Gala, is an homage to The Black Dandy — think of men like the sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois, the author James Baldwin, and the Vogue fashion editor André Leon Talley. capitalbnews.org/met-gala-bla...

Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.
