Yesterday's bike ride

I made it to the church just fine, there were a couple of people there.   I first talked to the secretary, but she was not very informative, she really didn't have the information I was looking for.  But she took my name and phone number and said she would have someone get back to me.  She was very nice.  I was somewhat disappointed right then.  But as I was getting on my bike and riding off I saw a lady coming out of another building and I stopped and asked her if she was with the church and she said yes.  Her name was Mary, of course.   I chatted with her for a while and discovered that the reason I was not getting a response from Rose, the lady I was trying to contact, is because she is on the East Coast with her family looking at the fall colors.   She will be back on Sunday and Mary told me she actually goes to the Saturday mass most of the time, which is when I'll be going if I keep on going there.  For Catholics a Saturday evening mass counts as going on Sunday.  I think this is because the for the Jews days started at sunset not midnight.  Mary said I should wait and talk to Rose before showing up at the RCIA class as there are different "tracks" you might be on depending on where you are in your journey.  The ride was nice and I took the long way home as I was having a good time tooling about on my bike.  This morning the rain was pouring down again but it's looking like it is going to clear up this afternoon and tomorrow so I may go out on my bike again.


Last night I got rid of my air mattress completely and just put a couple of blankets down on floor and slept on them with two comforters and a sheet on top.  I slept great.  I guess I really do like an extra firm mattress.  :-)  Nice thing about no bed is when I roll up the blankets I have a nice reading spot and lots of open space to walk about in.  I like it.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
