Lagniappe: October 2005
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Thursday, October 27, 2005. Woody Guthrie and the radio. A few years ago, I dramaturged a production of a musical based on the life and music of Woody Guthrie. Before that I had a vague notion of who he was, but that show gave me a reason to read all his published work. His first published book,. Bound for Glory,. All this to say, I want to introduce you to the radio stations that are part of my daily life in SoCal. I wake up to Morning Edition on KPCC. The NPR station that broa...

Lagniappe: August 2005
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Why are they not still on my radar of concern? The faith I profess makes me responsible for feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and comforting the sick, lost and imprisoned. Doing that is a lifetime gig, not a charge that ends when the news coverage tapers off. According to Mapquest, I'm sitting 1884.43 miles from the center of New Orleans. How, then, can I help from here? The International Red Cross. The American Friends Service Committee. A cubi...

Lagniappe: November 2005
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. A brief break from the spiritual stuff, to describe a delightful little holiday tradition that has grown up in my family. Once the nest was well and truly empty (and with five kids, that takes a while! For the first several years, the Advent gift was a five-gallon tin of gourmet popcorn. Already popped, that is. Five gallons of unpopped popcorn would make an almost unimaginable volume once it was popped! It must be acknowledged that I am no gardener...

Lagniappe: February 2006
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Monday, February 20, 2006. The Pacific Chorale rehearses on Monday nights. Due to a series of work and travel conflicts, I've attended only about half of the rehearsals since New Year's. When I sang with PC last fall, I was unexpectedly placed in the lowest women's voice part. So when I came back this winter after the break, I rejoined at the same place. I am supposed to be singing the highest. On some double-choir stuff. Posted by meeegan @ 10:50 PM. Tuesday, February 14, 2006.

Lagniappe: July 2006
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Friday, July 28, 2006. The things you run into in my line of work. Quick post from the work front: I'm writing a letter declining (for the second time) a particular play. I paged through the first few scenes to make sure I was remembering the play correctly, and found this prayer in a bit of dialogue between two central characters. The prayer is drawn from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church, and since I like it, I thought I'd post it. Monday, July 24, 2006.

Lagniappe: a word from my nephew
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2008/04/word-from-my-nephew.html
A little something extra. Friday, April 18, 2008. A word from my nephew. I spent the night at Wright Manor yesterday, and while I arrived so late in the evening that the nephews were nestled all snug in their beds, I got to spend some quality time with both boys this morning. Thence springs this blog post. So, for most of us, the first sound we make in the morning is a moan, groan, snarl or cuss word as we turn off the alarm. Not so for Drew. Drew wakes up in the morning and cries, "Yay! I'm sorry I miss...

Lagniappe: January 2006
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Thursday, January 26, 2006. The Church of What's Happenin' Now, part 3 of whatever. I like the short prayer with which the Church of What's Happenin' Now closes each Sunday morning service. I've been meaning to post it for a while now, and since I have it at hand, here it is:. As the earth keeps turning, hurtling through space,. And night falls and day breaks from land to land,. Let us remember people, waking, sleeping, being born and dying -. Partly organized by this guy. Fast-...

Lagniappe: December 2005
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Wednesday, December 28, 2005. Do not combat grumpiness with alcohol. Words to live by. Alcohol is a depressant, and grumpy people don't need further depressing! Thus, I am doctoring my working-too-many-12-hour-days, no-money, no-social-life, desperately-needs-a-haircut grumpy self with pizza (currently in the oven). If that doesn't do the trick, chocolate will follow. Posted by meeegan @ 10:02 PM. Tuesday, December 27, 2005. Posted by meeegan @ 8:46 PM. It's winter solstice, a g...

Lagniappe: May 2006
http://lagniappeca.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
A little something extra. Friday, May 26, 2006. I would have to go considerably further east to get into actual MO. But, here is some mo'. So, yeah. I'm not spending so much time soaking in the small-town deliciousness and ecumenical but extremely sincere spirituality of New Harmony. But I'm doing what I came here to do, doing it well (so far, knock wood) and hoping to make more opportunities to do it in more places in the future. Posted by meeegan @ 7:34 PM.
