Sunday in Outer Blogness: deferred edition…

chanson, August 22, 2015August 22, 2015

Hey folks, on Sunday I’ll be visiting Milan — hanging out with my sister who is on vacation in Italy — and I have a day-trip planned for next Sunday as well. So I’d like to do a middle-of-two-weeks edition on Wednesday to make up for missing these two Sundays. Thanks for your patience! 😀

Affirmation Update

October 2, 2013

Since my post a few days ago about the recent Affirmation conference I’ve been in a lively and polite discussion with Affirmation leaders. They’ve defended themselves well regarding my statement that “Affirmation at times seems too focused on helping gay Mormons maintain…their ties to the Mormon Church.” They pointed out…

    Thanks, I had a great time!!

    It’s actually kind of awesome that it’s so simple to do a day trip to Milan from here. I had to leave my house at 6:30, and got back a little after 11 p.m. — and I spent more time in transit than I did in Milan — but still. The train trip itself it pretty relaxing, so all-in-all it makes for a fun day!
