About a year ago the wife decided to take all the old shirts she loved but couldn't fit into (she was pregnant and also not a teenager anymore) and make a quilt out of them. So, we now have two squares on our extra winter quilt: one that says 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' and the other 'A Man With a Good Car Needs No Justification'. As a Lutheran I found the latter more disconcerting (ha!). (The wife also didn't realize that the lettering on one of her other concert Ts glows in the dark - I think it is Nirvana's 'Nevermind'; as expected, this square is at the top of the quilt on my side of the bed immediately by my head - built in nightlight.)123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14514075641944568806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-74400591573329949992009-01-28T01:44:00.000-06:002009-01-28T01:44:00.000-06:00That's interesting, Father--I used to be a fan of ...That's interesting, Father--I used to be a fan of Ministry in my wild heathen days.

I was shocked. <BR/><BR/>She and her husband went to a concert once. Of course they had no idea what kind of music it was (the name "Ministry" is a bid misleading). Anyway, her husband told me 'I was the only one there in a suit and tie.' <BR/><BR/>I don't know if she's still dating him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-49519163691059195552009-01-27T10:32:00.000-06:002009-01-27T10:32:00.000-06:00My spiritual father is the priest of my parish, an...My spiritual father <I>is</I> the priest of my parish, and it <I>is</I> the bi-ritual ROCOR parish.<BR/><BR/>What Herman told me was that he was going to be the next Wes Anderson.

I should check out some of his newer work on Pandora.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, Christian Bale is married to a Serbian-American girl, too, and I know she was very devout (we had a mutual friend when I lived in LA). I've always wondered if he was involved in the Church, too.<BR/><BR/>Is your spiritual father the priest of your parish? Is that the bi-ritual ROCOR parish or is there another?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I spoke to Herman last night. He's preparing to become the next David Lynch. (Incidentally, in Lynch's "The Straight Story", the old man's goal is to visit his brother in Boscobel, WI, which is where the St. Isaac of Syria Skete is).123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14514075641944568806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-54919752011707165022009-01-27T09:29:00.001-06:002009-01-27T09:29:00.001-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-39867560356431084042009-01-27T09:29:00.000-06:002009-01-27T09:29:00.000-06:00Well, I'm not sure if he's been to St Anthony's ye...Well, I'm not sure if he's been to St Anthony's yet or not, since he spends so much time on tour that it seems like he's never in Phoenix. But his wife's Serbian, and when they're in Phoenix they often attend a Serbian parish, and maybe a ROCOR parish too. I met Max here in OKC. Gloria's grandmother was a stalwart of our parish, and when she died they came out and now they're in love with my spiritual father. They had him perform an ecclesiastical wedding for them and baptise their grandson. They gave free tickets and backstage passes to any of our parisioners that wanted to go when Soulfly came to town to play. They're really nice people. They've donated a number of church goods and icons to us from Russia and Serbia. We have a St Nicholas icon from them that I've been talking about making prints of and calling it 'St Nicholas Soulflyotis'.Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-44860543414050710212009-01-27T08:04:00.000-06:002009-01-27T08:04:00.000-06:00I no longer have a copy, as I gave mine to Max Cav...<I>I no longer have a copy, as I gave mine to Max Cavalera to read on tour.</I><BR/><BR/>Uh, what?
