Seriously, they had never heard of Rye. I offered them musical mnemonics....
Did you try the Tex Ritter song? Aaah, they probably wouldn't have recognized that, either.

Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Aaah, they probably wouldn't have recognized that, either.
Yeah, I know it's Bakersfield but the kids behind the bar wanted to listen to Fifty Cent and Eminem.
The music of their youth.

I'm sorry about the car stuff, David.
I'm watching Life on the Discovery channel. Cuttlefish fights are very confusing.

Well the Manhattans were good even without the Rye.
Of course they were!

Ugh, David, glad you found a good drink at least.
I may need one soon as I try to put my latest purchase from IKEA together.

Speaking of Faith had on two Jesuits from the Vatican Observatory. I love listening to religious people who are well-versed in science explain how they reconcile the two.
One of the speakers quoted Anne Lammott and pointed out that the opposite of faith is not doubt, it is certainty, which is a quote I love. If something is certain, faith is just not required.

Hec, I am so sorry about the car. I hate cars. Possibly because I have never had enough money to have a reliable one.
Before Easter dinner I did 6 straight hours of fittings with a crazy designer, where I was helping the people into outfits, hanging up outfits, taking notes, offering opinions, making suggestions and ENTERTAINING HER FUCKING JACK RUSSELL TERRIER so that it didn't jump all over the actors. Badly behaved Jack Russell terriers do not belong in costumes shops, unless they, possibly are getting a costume.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was just talking today about how the Catholics have my favorite line of worship: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith. Because it is a mystery!

omg, I participated in religious debates to beat the band today.
To sum up: Organized religion? I am so not a fan.

Ugh, sorry about the car Hec. I hope the automotive fairies stop beating up on you.
