Extemporising on the Church Organ
I'm trying to train myself to improvise music on the organ, a difficult skill, but often necessary. I do not know if there are any church organists reading anything on LiC, but if there is, they might be interested in some advice I got from the PianoWorld forums, given by an organist called Vectistim:

I think organists should support each other -- it can be a lonely occupation.

Sorry to hear being an organist can be lonely because organists give so much pleasure to those who listen to their music.

Although I play organ at an Anglican Church, I sometimes fill in at a Unitarian Church when their organist is ill.
Last week the minister and I shared terrorist-jokes about organists:
1.
Vicar: What's the difference between an organist and a terrorist?
You can negotiate with a terrorist.
2.
Organist: What's the difference between a vicar and a terrorist?
The terrorist knows what he's doing.
(And I wonder why it's so lonely to be an organist (!))

Smeagologists
Once someone asked me “What is a Smeagologist?” My reply was simply, “Whatever you want it to be!” Seeing as I invented the name, I think I have a right to decide that it be a neutral term that is based roughly upon one’s emergence in a society that is progressively reductionist and bordering on Nihilism on one side and Contemplation on the other, I prefer the Contemplative side but attend most vigorously to the other seeing as our pale blue dot is gradually disappearing and who knows one day…See More

I ask for your prayers.
On Wednesday my mother died. My sister and I were there. We prayed again with our mother. Then she fell asleep peacefully in the arms of my sister. Our pastor arrived a short time later. He spoke again the blessing over our mother. The funeral will be next Friday. I ask for your prayers for our mother and us, in this time of parting.See More

Jumping in Bacton Wood
It's so great to be able to jump after so many years of walking and sitting and standing. LOL
