Thanks Jimmy for reminding all that I am bishop. (Who takes that
seriously? Not me!) Last Sunday it was so hot in the chapel that my
little bishop beanie ("zuchetta" but I call it a beanie) kept rising on
my head as my naturally Italian hair curled in the heat, and slide all
over my head. Kinda went like this:
(adjust beanie) the Lord ((adjust beanie) be with ((adjust beanie)) you!
Lift (adjust beanie) up your (adjust beanie) hearts! (adjust beanie)
But when I put on my lenten garb, which includes a floor length satin
chasuble (I didn't pick the material, I usually go for natural materials
that are, well, less satiny) and that satin chasuble in brilliant
scarlet/purple, I look like the pimp daddy of all time.
It is however very hard to pick anyone up in clerical garb. Probably
why I live alone. - or at least a good excuse to give.
And just to show how I am a person of varied abilities, at the Montcalm
County 4-H Fair, I have a duck in the fair, my duck Babe, who I raised
from a duckling. I have sent her to live with a family with some wild
mallards with whom she is friendly (so to speak) and happy, but still my
duck in the 4 H county fair! (Be mindful that my Babe duck left my
care for others with an oath in blood that she will always live as a
duck and die as a free duck and never be dinner.) But for a Chicago boy
to have a duck in the 4H county fair is a greater thrill than one can
imagine!
(the Rev) Vince
