Really, I just buy it for the articles

I went to the First Baptist Church in Knoxville this morning.

(Oh, sorry, maybe I should have warned you first. You didn't get any of your drink on the keyboard, I hope?)

No, church, especially a Baptist church, wouldn't normally be my thing (I do go to the Unitarian church now and then). But this was different--this was a school field trip for my ASL class. The FBC has a church service for the Deaf that's conducted entirely in ASL. Read more about the sign language church service here. )

In other news, the eagerly anticipated vest with all the pockets arrived last Monday. I was talking to Donald (my friend in Iraq) on the phone when it came, and I suspect much of the remainder of my end of the conversation was a little distracted by the sounds of velcro ripping and zippers zipping and "hmm, no, the mimmoth won't fit in that pocket, sorry Ozymandyas." Read more about trip purchases here, if the very thought doesn't make you roll your eyes in disgust. )
