I went out and experienced the good weather, although I didn't enjoy it as I probably should have. I am more hung over than I thought. And than I should be! I didn't drink that much last night, but I guess I didn't eat much, either. Ugh. I did walk around and did errands, so that's good.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are we still talking religion? 'Cause I saw a guy downtown today wearing a t-shirt that said "Jesus made me Kosher." What does that even mean??

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't know what that means. My best guess is it's some Messianic thing.
In odd t-shirts, I some someone today wearing a shirt that said "Liberalism Breeds Terrorism" on the front and "Terrorism Breeds Liberalism" on the back.

I resisted saying "Wouldn't that depend on how Jesus slaughtered you?" but it was a near thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Probably Jews for Jesus or a similar organization, and I think the theological concept behind it is kosher in the broader sense of pure/clean--translated into, say, Baptist, it would be "Jesus cleansed me from my sins."

Huh. In that case it seems kind of assholish confrontational.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I went to a Civil War re-enactment today. Had a good time, didn't get too sunburned, and took a bunch of pictures: [link]
There was a Union camp, a Confederate camp, a civilian camp, and sutlers area. They seem to take their costuming pretty seriously, and there were some interesting historical/modern contrasts as the re-enactors and the spectators milled about together.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Amusingly, the first cite I found for this was on an ultraconservative pre-Vatican II bitter hardcore website ranting about the ghastly moral relativism of it all.
I would just like to mention how impressed I am that these guys made a website pre-Vatican II. That shows real foresight.

It means he's edible! Or, possibly, that thanks to Jesus, he's no longer one of the following:
A capitalist pig.
An imperialist running dog.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
hey BT! I am going to see an fine antipodean group tonight--Crowded House. I know they are NZ and not Aussie, but still from that neck of the woods.

Good stuff! Actually, while Neil Finn is a Kiwi (and Tim Finn when he was in the band), the other two musicians in the original line-up (Nick Seymour and Paul Hester) are Australian (were in Hester's case, he killed himself in 2005). I think the new line-up has a couple of Americans in it too.
