And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Interview with Anthony Bourdain on his new book. Well, sort of about his new book. Best line is:

Slashfood: You're sort of responsible for the whole chef/rock star craze.
AB: Don't blame me, man. Don't blame Guy Fieri on me. That's not my fault. That's a radiation accident.

I'm sort of fond of Guy Fieri, because he came out of that competition on the Food Network.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

There's been a very strong and concerted effort on the part of the upper echelons of the church to break the liberal parishes in the East Bay.

My parish went through this back in the early 80s (coincided with JPII becoming pope). We had a great liberal parish, were viewed by the other parishes in town as the radical hippy church, and we loved it, but then the pastor retired and, instead of promoting the associate pastor who epitomized our radical hippyness to pastor, they brought in a conservative guy who put the screeching brakes on everything that was great about our church. The most prominent members of the parish left the Catholic Church completely to join the first not-quite-mega-church in town, and our family drifted away to attend church at various other parishes in town.

right? And not even young Lindsay Price, but Lindsay Price at 50. What's sad is that CZJ is only 40.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Dylan and javachick!

JZ, sorry about the fuckus at your parish. I wish you some peace and some sense of balance--whether you have to leave or try to stay and help fix it.

Kid free vacation continues. It was nearly derailed on Saturday night when, while combing Owen's hair after a swim, I found head lice. Yeesh. That sucked.

I have lots of high school friends there, Allyson. What do you need?

Cash, where are you going?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Scrappy is experiencing thread drift.

They are hammering me for the contact info. First time they asked I just didn't answer. That worked for months. This new person is much keener. Bummer.

A stranger asked if he could wash my car this morning. I suppose it's about time I pulled the trigger and had it washed my damned self. That's shame, right there. And he was trying to be really nice about it too. Yikes.

I'm going to try and get there for world fantasy con and was checking to see if there were any Buffistas in the area.
