Hi Bryan,

Greetings! How are you?

I came across this link - 

https://uucb.org/community/music-and-arts/adult-choir/ (and the I feel like singing drop-in choir link below) - and it 

looks like adult choir meets on Thursdays. I'm contacting you to inquire whether it's happening now, and if so, if I might be able to join. I've sung in 2 UU Choirs, one in Pittsburgh, before.

I found this also on the web -

Hi Bryan,

As a follow up, 

I sing baritone and bass (down to the G below the C below middle C) ...

On a frequent walk to the UU Church 1.8 miles from where I live on Arlington Blvd., I was at the Church yesterday evening, and I caught a glimpse and heard a bit ... Seems like a mature group ... In the nice open central entry ... Decent acoustics ... People wearing masks ... Did not feel drawn to dropping in ... 

I may just drop in next Thursday unless I hear otherwise.

Singing together is fun. Just found this very early Unitarian church in Romania - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A2rjiu_fortified_church - also an UNESCO WORLD Heritage Site ... Having seen that Gate from Romania on the far side (forested side) of the UUCB lands.

Best regards,

Scott

Dear Betsy, 

How are you? How was your time on Cuttyhunk in July? And have you been able to return in the lovely September time there? 

I'm writing to let you know about a possible UU Minister position at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Kensington / Berkeley - https://uucb.org/connection/ministers/ - since Michelle Collins is the interim minister presently, and has been there about 1 year now. The Church is way up in the Berkeley hills, almost at Skyline Blvd, and has been a community since the 1890s. It might be a fascinating and great adventure for you and John, were you to be interested in exploring this opportunity. (And if you applied and got the position, you could always return to New Hampshire in some years, near Cuttyhunk:).  

Ongoing creative time here for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and regarding planning for my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, and next book (potentially published from text-in-the-sidebar from Google Street View with time slider, to paper, and wuAsVR digital books too!); Blogging too, eg - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/american-beech-fagus-grandifolia.html - wherein I explore, regarding my near daily walk to this UU Church, thinking about what the UU 'meditation' space - aging reversal genetic drug vaccines too - for my mother might be ... and wonder if it's a 'caring and loving meditation space,' or mind space? What do you think? Am appreciating my mother's UU 'identity' - and wondering how its 'great effects' might 'work' for her. :)

What are you up to this autumn? (My ongoing seeking of a life partner continues, and to begin to give birth to children as well ... a woman of some Scottish background, MD, pretty, and in her late 20s, early 30s possibly?)

Sincerely, Scott

Here's a blog post about John, in part (and, regarding, " the publisher of the Record Bee newspaper in Lake County California from 1981-1986, in which county my Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic field site is located") - 

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/07/bog-turtle-fascinating-to-read-that-you.html - and here's the UU label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Unitarian%20Universalist ... 

Greetings to John and your family :)

Friendly regards, Scott

Hi Ma,

Another splendid day here it appears ... Soon to walk 1.8 miles up to the bench on the hill, where I think I'm creating a second alternative UU Church Nontheist Friends' Quaker Meeting bench .. not yet encompassed with interesting virtual or augmented reality ... With virtual musician friends to play harmony with ... 

Partner-seeking circulation continues for wonderful person as friends ... Desiderata then ... https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html

Three Jean Thomas-like (for you) male friends out here - a little bit like me - a rock and roll band kind of ... With aging reversal genetic drug therapies ... Slide the time slider back on virtual Avatar Bot (in Street View), take the vaccine, and become young! :)

Love, Scott

Glad to hear it, Ma! :) 

Possibly a relevant blog post today (and still growing a bit), including to Dick Robb MD, with a few other Harvard Profs at the Harvard Medical School too - :)

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/10/so-how-excellent-experience-could-aging.html?m=0 Appreciating Peter Norvig here and his transformative AI quality thinking - His communication of this too.

Have been waking up very early in morning here, and warmth is under the covers now that it's cool, so diurnal clock is changing temporarily a bit in this equinox season ...

Too alone here? ... Possibly, but if I could begin traveling to Harbin Hot Springs about weekly (and safely, re Harvard networking) much would change in some ways, movement wise too. More circulation might lead to a partner, but it hasn't, to Harbin, in the past .... Spending 3 months a year in Cambridge MA with a good community might open ways to meeting a life partner by contrast. 

Glad it's so clear and splendid outside maybe due to the cool!

And glad the weather is good for you 😊!

Love, Scott

Ma, 

Getting my feet on the ground there in Boston in the spring ... would take a while ... I have a small distributed citified community re World Univ & Sch here, and piping, and Harbin here, and friends, but not that many locally ... 

(Have connected with Susan and Anke profoundly in the past ... others too, in their 20s - and others ... many fair-haired not surprisingly or otherwise ... Such past connectings I think inform my ongoing circulation :)

More possibilities in the Boston area ... but possibly a more complex world to navigate in than living by myself presently ... and the SF Bay Area is more beautiful and warmer ... but perhaps the idea of quality or qualities ... and cordiality and friendliness are much less out here ... Walking into a shop in the Boston area even, for example, might be somehow more connecting possibly than here ... 

I also think with a growing World Univ & Sch that meeting a life partner back east might happen more readily than here ... Yet, my actual-virtual Harbin projects are profound, and fascinating academically, in so many STEM ways, out here ... 

Harvard ... or growing WUaS off the ground significantly from out here ... (and in finding a partner too?)

Love, Scott

Ma, 

Here's Phil Jelley, Harbin lands' lawyer, in pic with me at Stanford Alumni event in 10/2017, whom I may have met indirectly through Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely -

Was glad to meet & talk w #HarbinHotSprings' lands' lawyer
Phil & Patty Jelley at Stanford Alumni event 10/2017. He told me abt some new #HarbinHistory re land deals beginning in '50s & #1960s re my "#NakedHarbinEthnography"@HarbinBook by #ScottGKMacLeodhttps://t.co/qOE8lutu3r~ pic.twitter.com/yIBLU1bWYn

... Who also built a house in the Oakland hills with Ethan Allen, a Canyon contractor. ... So I think Harbin and Canyon could be safe after time, with this legal and Celtic network ... WUaS might be something Greely is thinking about too ... But I am living in a safe house, and considering seeking asylum in the spring (am glad too Jim Spohrer knows fellow former IBMer Ellin Barrett in Canyon too ... ) ... Nevertheless I may move back to Massachusetts in spring re finding a partner even :) 

Love, Scott

Ma,

I think it's partly a social impulse (troop-bonding, to use a John Money word, post Coronavirus pandemic meme 'shut down,''lock in' and 'time out' of the past 18 months) but there may be navigating to do. 

Some cars are pulling into the parking lot below - which may be the choir gathering (for the first time?) Am a bit concerned about any possible law breaking ...

So if it doesn't work out, that's fine.

Singing together is fun. Just found this very early Unitarian church in Romania - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A2rjiu_fortified_church - also a UNESCO WORLD Heritage Site ...

How was your day? Did you have swim time? :)
