I've mentioned that this was upcoming a couple of times, but brandondedicant and I got to sit down and have a discussion about the importance of action in Our Druidry, and the interview has been posted. Check it out!

Practice begets belief: An interview with Rev. Michael J Dangler, DruidThe comments have raised some good questions (some I'm still responding to ( Read more... )

The "targeted ads" available these days are rather interesting, particularly on Facebook. Most guys will know the story as I do, particularly if you've been at more than one of the following stages: single, in-a-relationship, engaged, or married. The really interesting thing is to watch the optimism levels in each category I've been through on ( Read more... )

I'm wading through several policies for the Clergy Council, from the new course outline (finally in voting on the CoL) to reviewer issues to other (less savory) issues.

Read their comment in response to my post.I'm somewhat amused. . . the "libations" have improved, apparently, but no mention of the central issue I had, the cheeseburger, is made ( Read more... )

Not long ago, I actually got "real" internet access at home. This consists of the cheapest possible DSL connection that I could possibly obtain: $15/month, which I split down the center with Tina. Since it's on my phone bill, it's not an extra bill, just more like an extra feature.
