I am a South Jersey Friend and dad with a love out of outreach and a passion for looking afresh at Friends' testimonies, language and practices. I am the publisher of Quaker Quaker, a community site for Friends, and write about online publicity, organizing and design on my business site at MartinKelley.com.
Liz Phair is the spawn of the devil
Over the past few weeks I've been kind of proud of myself for a better discipline of spiritual study. My train commutes have been full of Quaker reading and regular Bible reading. This morning's ride made the reason for that now-lost discipline clear: two weeks ago I lost my Palm Pilot. Today's commute was the first with all my software finally reloaded into a new one and I found myself replacing Brian Drayton for the New York Times, Isaiah for Liz Phair's "Why can't I sneeze whenever I think about you" somehow sneaked into some mix I downloaded (rest assured, there's no Christian Rock pretense that the "you" was "Him" when she belts out the lines). Oh, for the snares of modernity!
