Morning AB, all.
Let us begin by thanking AB for doing this thread with purpose and wise oversight.
We thank Bray for his weekly wisdom and I thank yon commenters for wisdom in the form of wise and funny commentary.
The weather here in the swamps is awful but then we all know that, right?
The big news of the week here in my kind of smallish life is that our Pastor, Father Flowers, FIRED our Choir Director.
Now this would probably mean nothing to yon readers except I have posted this guy’s pic on this thread in the context of our new choir loft and brand new organ.
Todd is a nice guy but friends, it was time for him to go. Over the years, and on THIS thread, I have posted the stories of Todd, the deaf homosexual leading our choir although he was not very good at leading the choir at all.
He was, and still is, a very good organ player but for ten years my choir has saved Todd so many times, to include once us all donating to a fund to support him when he was put on leave by our FORMER Pastor for having the cops come to church to haul his butt away DURING MASS!
We griped and complained during Todd’s tenure but for the most part….well hey, we are volunteers, amateurs, we are not employees of the church. As much as we were exasperated we stood by Todd just because we all didn’t quit en masse.
Father Jim hated Todd and that situation didn’t help. Scuttlebutt is that Father Jim couldn’t find another music guy here in the swamps so he kept Todd on.
Father Tom, heh, well I don’t blame him at all. First, Father Tom is a singer, second, to my surprise, he writes music-we will be singing a song he wrote this morning at the ten am mass taking me away from this thread for a bit. As I see it, Rev. Thomas Flowers has been at my church for almost a year now and he gave Todd every chance in the book, to include a brand new organ.
The choir, for the most part, is shrugging, silently relieved. It’s time for Todd to go.
Now here’s another item of muse and more germane as I know such as choir directors getting fired is not the stuff of national interest.
I AM A DELEGATE TO THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION!!!
Heh.
I have no idea, none whatsoever, how this works.
On the 29th and 30th of this month I will be attending the Delaware state Republican convention. Heh. I am a delegate.
Oh yeah….this political junkee is going to hobnob and blog and hobnob some more. Even going to the big dinner on Saturday night.
The Sussex county GOP asked me to attend and again, I have no idea what to do and what it’s all about. This is NOT the convention in Cleveland although, ahem, some of us are also going to that and I bet I could if I lobbied for it.
Anyway…..good experience for me. It’s only right down the street from me, by coincidence, town called Dewey Beach.
So keep the thread going while I sing and this delegate shall return with more scoop.
Let us know if you get offered 100 million bucks to vote for Dirty Teddy.
Ah yes...they speak of him with the greatest affection.
Dewey Beach
Dew we evah!
So if you are a Cruz delegate and Trump sweeps the state do you vote for Trump or Cruz on the first ballot. Do you switch to Cruz on the second? Can you abstain on the first ballot?
