It was a lovely Christmas Eve service at Jeff and Carol's local Episcopalean church. The only problem was when it came time to use the kneelers. daisy_knotwise told me, "You don't have to kneel." But I'd spent two years in an Episcopalean school, so I knew how to handle it.

Unfortunately, the kneeler didn't. About ten seconds after I'd settled onto the kneeler next to Gretchen, the wood brace gave way with a crack like the sound of a rifle.

We decided to give up kneeling for the duration. And I think I'd better lose some weight.

Total aside, but your memberships came yesterday!

Good! I dropped them in the mail before we left.

I gave up kneelers long before I left the E church. My knees are waaaay too weak.

So it isn't just chairs in dealers' rooms.

The chairs were of a sad species.

Jeff tells us that wasn't the first kneeler that's died that way in the church. Apparently, it was its time...

(In some cosmic sense, of course.)
