Is this for real?
From Newsweek:
“China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission.”

We went back to St. Mary’s Episcopal Church today. The Rector was out, but that was really OK–We got to see how the parish worked without her. Answer: Just fine. That is the way it should be. LeeAnne is a brilliant preacher and obviously well-loved in the parish, but the church needs to be able to get along when she is elsewhere.
After we got home mia_mcdavid took a nap, while I worked on some of colgaffneyis tent poles–we had several equipment failures at Perham. I did everything I could–the next step is a policy decision by Mia and the Tinker. I also made some progress on cleaning my workbench.
We got home from the MN Ren Faire about 4:30 yesterday afternoon and went to bed–we both needed naps. We got up for dinner, after which mia_mcdavid went out to join some friends at a concert in a western suburb. I could not face that, and returned to bed at 8:30. All told I slept for about 14 hours.
