Is there such a thing?

I had too much mediocre Chinese takeout for a late lunch - appetite is just now returning. I should probably try to soldier through til breakfast, but the salmon & spinach TV dinner is calling to me from my freezer.

Our wings are not tired.

Perkins should have shared her sushi.

Picture of Sheryl & G at Boston's on the Beach in Delray. We had lunch with them on the 26th just before we flew to NY and they flew back to DC. Yay for the quickie F2F! [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think I need to use that tomorrow, Kat.

There is no such thing.

I would normally agree with you, but not right now. Check again in a half hour.

I think Polar Express successfully wrapped up all Cuteness Factors together and tossed them into the Uncanny Valley.

Uncanny cuteness.... Hmm... Did ET count?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That is amazing!

Italian Case On Proving Existence of Christ Proceeds
Under the Italian Penal Code, both "abuse of popular credulity" (Sec. 661) and "impersonation"(Sec. 494) are offenses. Luigi Cascioli, who lives in Viterbo, a town north of Rome, is a retired agronomist who once studied for the priesthood but later became a militant atheist. He has written a book titled The Fable of Christ. A priest, Father Enrico Righi of Bagnoregio, denounced Cascoli in the parish newsletter for questioning Christ's historical existence. In September,2002, Cascoli responded by filing suit. The trial judge dismissed the case but the Court of Appeal held that Signor Cascioli had a reasonable case for his accusation that Father Righi was "abusing popular credulity". So yesterday the trial judge, Gaetano Mautone, set a preliminary hearing for next month. The London Times reports on the case as one in which Father Righi will be required to prove that Jesus Christ existed. It also reports, not surprisingly, that "the Vatican has so far declined to comment".

Oh, wow. That's miraculous. Well, and skill of the rescuers, and determination, and grit, and survival skills.

I guess one of them didn't make it, which is horribly sad. For the rest, amazing. Thankful, indeed.
