Miscellany
Today Dorothy and I were walking around the refrigerator section of a Best Buy. We were going down the line opening the doors of each refrigerator. About the fifteenth we opened, we found cheesecake and plates, and a note advising us to help ourselves. So we did. Not the best cheesecake, but better than what you’d expect to find in a random refrigerator at a Best Buy.

This morning, I woke up to find no water in my apartment. A water main burst, so I ran down to a gym to shower and shave. I looked around, and was suddenly concerned that smaller people would go into orbit around me. I bumped into a neighbor, who knows my aversion to gyms, and he was confused until he realized that I also had no water.
Later at work today, I ran into a colleague whom I hadn’t seen in a while. He was dropping off several projects that were supposed to go to me but somehow went to him instead, which is a semi-regular occurance since we have the same first name. He said, “You look good. Have you lost weight?”
I offered to have his love child; he declined and looked very confused. One way or another, I’m confusing everybody today.

Over 100,000 spam comments caught by our Akismet spam filter. Geez, there’s a lot of garbage out there.

Your plate is fuller than a Melmac platter at a Methodist Potluck.

Today is 04/07/08. When Dorothy asked me what the date was and I told her, it reminded me of a Bible verse song I learned as a kid. One of the delights of having grown up in the church I grew up in is that I have dozens of Bible verses unconsciously memorized and I can only recall them if I sing them to a tune.
Anyhow, 1 John 4:7-8, two of the sensitive fellow’s best:
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
A nice things about John is he’s the easiest apostle to pick out in Catholic iconography because he never has a beard. Even with Peter you’ve got to check the hands for keys or a sword. But John’s always obvious at first glance, as easy to spot as Christ himself.
