Happy Father's Day in memory of RantDad

RantDad, how shall we remember thee this year?

I know: find every bassoon recital, woodwind studio arrangement, bassoon ensemble cover of music written for other instruments, and general low register shorts on Youtube and play us out for the night for awhile.

Enjoy the music.


Read on as led.


 But RantWoman, RantDad was much more than that.


Yeah.


And not all of it needs to be said right here, right now. Instead:


Johan Maurer on Grace and tangentially on God the father with a bunch of other stuff thrown in

RantWoman would not say RantDad articulated any sense of divine grace until late in his life. Maybe growing up with the Righteous Rev. Rant Grandad for a father had something to do with it. RantWoman is glad it finally came. RantWoman would not have minded if some more nuanced self-reflection also came along too, but at a certain point one gets to appreciate gifts and realize one is trying to paddle a different canoe.


Blecch, RantWoman, why Josh Hawley.

1. From a sense of gratitude: thank GOD in all forms of heaven that RantDad never tried to overthrow a government or put on a muscle shirt and preach whatever version of the Bible that Sen. Hawley needs to burble.

2. Because RantWoman really hopes one of the Hawley children is going to ask their father questions like "Daddy, what was that fist pumping on January 6 all about?" OR "Daddy, why are you such a jerk about questioning that lady in the Congressional hearing?" Okay, first, RantWoman has to hope one of the Hawley children will be the sort of fearless mind that leads people to ask questions like that.

3. RantWoman needs some place to store this collection of media bits. No, RantWoman is not going to buy the book and RantWoman wouldn't mind if the items here put others off any temptation to buy the book.RantWoman is going to try to come at some gender topics with more nuance than "HELL NO, Josh Hawley's vision of manhood is sui generis, NOT something to be generalized.
