I did not know that. Interesting.

I assume everyone read that as "Mordor," yes?

I am suddenly so aggressively sleepy that I would not be surprised if someone had replaced our regular coffee with decaf as a prank. (I'm sure they didn't. It would be anarchy up in here if they did.)

Good Friday isn't as much of a thing here in the southeast US as it was in my home town. I grew up in an area where half the population were descendants of Polish immigrants, and thus Catholic. Another quarter were Irish Catholic, and there was a handful of miscellaneous background Catholics--enough for a church building of their own. So Good Friday was definitely a Thing. We also had awesome fish dinners on Fridays at my church, even though it was Methodist.
Mmmmmm. Now I want beer battered, deep fried fish. As is so often the case.

Good Friday and Maundy Thursday and Sunrise Service on Easter were big things in southwest Pennsylvania, where I grew up, at least in churchy circles. They were certainly recognized as events by everyone else. Scots/Irish and German immigrants, lots of Baptist and Methodist with a good sprinkling of Catholic.

I drove a fare to Providence today! That's a 50 mile trip, and out of state, to boot!
And at one of those moment when I'd just dropped off somebody, and I got a page just after thinkign I should pull over, check back through my trip history and add up fares to see if I'd made enough to justify going home (it was 11-ish, so I'd been working for 5 hours). But there was a potential fare, 2 minutes out (just around the block, seriously) so I said, why the hell not, and found I'd hit a jackpot.
Uber driving brings out the gambling instinct in me, but at least in a positive way, i.e. even if the page had been for a short fare (less than a mile = $5) I'd have come away with something.

Nice, Theo!
Bah, I forgot to go to the store on the way home and get cheesecake ingredients. Now I have to go out again.
