For sixteen years my gold standard production of Fiddler has been the national tour that came through Toronto in the winter of 2009/10.
Signature Theatre’s 2025/26 production is my new gold standard Fiddler.
A way above my head …
Two years a priest! And thanks be to God.

It’s only the 8th day of Christmas! Still plenty of time to watch/ listen to the greatest Christmas concert ever.

Happy New Year, Newfoundland!
To Thee, meek Majesty! soft King Of simple graces and sweet loves. Each of us his lamb will bring, Each his pair of silver doves; Till burnt at last in fire of Thy fair eyes, Ourselves become our own best sacrifice.
Welcome, to our wond'ring sight! Eternity shut in a span. Summer in winter, day in night, Heaven in earth, and God in man. Great little One! Whose glorious birth Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heaven to earth.
No, no, your King's not yet to seek Where to repose His royal head. See, see, how soon His new bloomed cheek Twixt mother's breasts is gone to bed. Sweet choice, said we! no way but so: Not to lie cold, yet sleep in snow.
I saw the obsequious seraphims Their rosy fleece of fire bestow. For well they now can spare their wings, Since heaven itself lies here below. Well done, said I: but are you sure Your down, so warm, will pass for pure?
We saw Thee in Thy balmy nest, Young Dawn of our eternal day! We saw Thine eyes break from The East And chase the trembling shades away. We saw Thee; and we blessed the sight, We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light.

I will do a full rewatch soon but I have watched episodes 3 and 5 more times than I can count already
So much crying. More crying than I thought possible. But here we are.
Dear Apple Watch,
I am a priest and it is the second day of Christmas. Stop trying to make this happen. This is not going to happen.
Sincerely,
Me
Just got back from the cottage

Let’s go to the cottage, y’all!
But then earlier this year I read Heated Rivalry and now this mug covered in these stupid Canadian wolf birds is one of my most prized possessions. Happy Hollonov Eve to all who celebrate!
MILD #HEATEDRIVALRY SPOILER.
I was given this mug years ago at a tag sale simply because I’d bought something else with Canadian iconography on it and honestly, it’d always lived in my mind as that thing that person wanted to get rid of.
Happy Christmas from Andrew and me!!
And the last verse of ‘Once in Royal David’s City.’
And the second verse of ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’ (though I’m tempted to allow a little leeway there. Just a little).
2/2
Still waiting for the Episcopal Church to apologize and make amends for what it did to the last verse of ‘Hark! the Herald Angels Sing.’

I loved @heatedrivalry.bsky.social ep. 3 as much as anyone. But is no one talking about how the @dropout.tv @gamechangershow.bsky.social #loopdeloop shows up in the episode BASED on @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social book ‘Game Changer’‽
Ahhh I love it there! I typically sit across from St Columba but I’ll have to keep an eye out for this window next time.
I’ve just started a series on Revelation at my church and, unsurprisingly, I’m spotting imagery from it EVERYWHERE now. This is gorgeous. Many blessings on your stay. Which monastery are you at?
AUTOOOOOOOOO HEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRRRTT!! @autoheart-official.bsky.social
This is the second time I am seeing a pro-shoot of Maria Friedman’s production of Merrily We Roll Along and look I’m not complaining but if you’d told me five years ago that this would be a thing I would NOT have believed you.
