Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But he's still a Jesuit if he named himself after Francis of Assisi, yes?

Of course. But naming yourself after the founder of a different order makes a very different statement than naming yourself after the founder of your own order, don't you think? But also this St. F of A bit: "Francis, Francis, go and repair My house which, as you can see, is falling into ruins."

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

Probably. That is deeper than I am going to try to think about, really. I may be too tired to watch TV, I am definitely too tired to interpret the motivations of pontifical autonomenclature.

pontifical autonomenclature

Woot! That's a hell of a phrase. I mean, clearly the right one, but impressive!

I admit, I am pretty proud of that one.

And you should be.

OK, crazy thing here. Can a person develop synesthesia?

Lately I'll smell things when I see pictures of them. Not always, but frequently enough that its beginning to weird me out.

The other day it happened with Makers Mark. Just now it happened with Fig Newtons.

Now, bourbon is something I adore... but newtons, while a tasty snack, are hardly a passion. Neither are twinkies or vanilla, two other things I've recently smelled upon seeing pictures of them.

I smell it just for a second. I can't make myself smell it again. Maybe I was bit by a radioactive pregnant woman.

Certainly prideworthy.

I'm going to do my level best to use that phrase in the next few days.

Maybe some day I will find out! That's an exciting thought.

I think I have heard of people developing synesthesia, Trudy, but I can't remember under what kind of circumstances.
