Hello, Cookies!
Greetings from Louisville, where our General Assembly is flying by and I am attending many sessions and having wonderful conversations and trying to get over the inevitable guilt of not being able to see everyone I had hoped to see and spend time with.
I am blogging and Tweeting on congregational life in my spare moments and do not have much to say right now about clergy image, but I did sit next to a friend who had a serious run-in with an escalator and a maxi skirt this afternoon.
Here is the lovely Rev. Robin Bartlett, very much With Child. She said that maxi skirts are great for woman in late pregnancy because they hide swollen ankles.
However, and this is really scary, her skirt got caught on the escalator today at the convention center. She showed up to a workshop and sat next to me and whispered her story, showing me the “fashion innovation” she made out of the chewed-up fabric. She’s a hilarious, sparkling person who can find the humor in every situation but geez, it really is a good bit of advice. Don’t wear maxi skirts on escalators or just be very careful, okay?
Thank God no one was hurt, but it was a close call.
yikes. Once the babe arrives escalators can be very dangerous to small children, too.
Hope you are having fun. Have to mention that Louisville has the worlds best donut place (Nards) as well as wonderful barbeque. And great architecture if you slip out for lunch…..

Bless Robin, she looks fabulous!
Many many years ago (at an ERA convention in Texas, to give you a time frame), my son (now 40) got his untied shoe laces caught in an escalator. The escalator tore his shoe off, the frantic mother (moi) was frozen and a burly man grabbed my son and carried him off the elevator. Still makes me very cautious at escalators!
