Zhann, guess who was also raised Episopalian?? Yup ... me. In fact, my grandfather was a minister of the church. I left when they had the nerve to excommunicate my mother for marrying a Methodist. I mean really, how absurd is that!! Of course, my extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) are still in the church (and way too involved if you ask me ... one aunt left $4,000,000 to the church - including all of her husband's estate - and bypassed his kids!!). They all think this Buddhist thing of mine (35 years now and still going strong), is just a "phase" that I will "grow out of." Ha!!

Could be worse, could be raining.
