Blessing the Animals (Horses in Church)
Last Sunday was the popular Blessing of the Animals service at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (in Saratoga, California). We took our two cockatiels (Simon and Garfunkel) to church in their cage. The blessings started with two draft horses and a very-small-looking regular horse cloping down the aisle. Our birds are not shy so they made loud squawks during the sermon. There was much dog visiting and some barking on this one day when the animals come to church to honor St. Francis of Assisi. The first hymn was from 1848:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Carnegie Mellon Today
Our family was delighted to see the "Photo Op" article on p.7 of the newly-published October 2009 issue of Carnegie Mellon Today magazine. The article is about my daughter Jessica who took a photo of General Colin Powell at the Presidential Inauguration. The Special Libraries Association used her photo as their magazine cover image.
Jessica is a Junior in the Humanities Scholars Program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is planning on spending her next semester at the CMU-Q campus, in Doha, Qatar. Jessica's major is Ethics, History and Public Policy with a minor in Vocal Performance but she spends a much of her spare time messing around with computers.
