Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The church I used to attend, St. Barts, is where the Scribners and Vanderbilts had rented pews doncha know. It still has a gorgeous reception/party after its Easter Vigil service with linens and a ton of amazing food, etc.
The first year I was attending the church my Mom and I saw an older woman wrapping up finger sandwhiches in napkins and placing them in her purse. We watched as one of the people from the church came rushing over... and proceeded to help the woman wrap up goodies, "you'll want to try some of THESE". It was lovely.

I can't even.
Meeting folks in Michigan was interesting. What do you do was quickly followed up with so what do you drive? I seem to confuse people when I say "I work for the government", because that's about as much as my job defines me. Other people who work for the (any) government will grok the administrivia of what I actually do. I could be doing something almost completely different next week, but it probably wouldn't have much effect on when I show up or how much I get paid.
