    The Triduum is alternatively described as Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Or my favourite: Thursday, Friday, Sunday. That is, Easter Vigil, being after sunset, is a Sunday, not a a Saturday service. Thus Holy Saturday is the only day of the whole year without its own service. An empty day.

    Except the office. I don't know about the Anglican office, but in the RC, Holy Saturday's office has the only liturgical mention of the "Harrowing of Hell," a neglected concept. Righlty or wrongly; I haven't given it much thought. The Orthodox are big on it, and even have icongraphy of Jesus opening Hell. Cool.

    Re: John's snide reference to "the Jews." Think of it like this: John blames "the Jews" for everything like Canadians blame "Ottawa."

    Really, it's not the individuals Ottawans they blame. Well, not my niece and nephew, anyway. My brother-in-law, perhaps, could be to blame for everything, but not the kids! ;-)

    Adele again, also wishing she was there.

    Oh Adele! Thank you for that analogy! With your permission I would like to use it in our next session and in future sermons.

    I too wish you could have attended these sessions, your insight and wit would have come in handy!

    It is rather neat, isn't it? I'm sure one could think of others, but I like the "Ottawa" one. Go right ahead and use it. And I think I wish more that I was there. I am in great need of discussions of this type.

Thanks to my old friend at yougeek.ca I have learned that my blog has been quoted by another. The author(s) of TNG/TNG has pointed others my way. I thank them for doing so, however I would like to point out that God does not take sides in issues like this. Priests do take sides but God never takes sides. I would like to think that God has a soft spot in His heart for the CBC and all of its employees. I wrote what I wrote simply to offer a thought on the bias of what was being written by the managers who were "forced" to lockout their employees. In the end I do believe that we all have choices to make in this world and we should be honest enough to stand up and say, "This is what I have chosen to do." Now if that is taking sides... Then I am taking sides. Finally, I am sure that my favourite CBC Personality, Danny Finkleman, is quite happy to be in retirement now! At least he won't have to carry a picket sign. Now there IS a rant that I would loved to have hear
