The other side of that story is that you don't have to outrun the bull, just outrun your buddy.

Friday 10
Saw Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women at World Live Cafe last night and THEY BURNED IT TO THE GROUND!  Great show.  Then we hung out at a karaoke bar until 1:30 a.m.  Back at 'em again now.1. "Let's All Help the Cowboys (Sing the Blues)" -- Waylon Jen…

There's a cemetery behind our back yard. A lot of people won't look at houses on our side of the street because it freaks them out. Me? To paraphrase George Carlin, I like it that I have assholes living only on three sides of me. ;) Anyway, she'll…

Well, you'd better say you love her. ;) I think both paths are authentic and have merit. I grew up Catholic and still find comfort in the the repetition despite being an atheist. It can lose meaning though, if you hear and say the same prayer over…

Of course we're both doing the Lord's work. She in her way and I in HIS. OK, that's an old joke that I get to pull out now. There's lots of good humor on this very topic. Two guys were stuck in in a bull pen, and it is clear that the bull was going…

I like a predictable liturgy. It makes worship a community endeavor that includes people long gone. I like the familiarity, and I'm a sucker for ritual. It's comforting to me. Needless to say, Catholicism is terribly appealing to me for a number of…

Repetitive Prayers
My wife made a comment that she does not like the repetitive nature of our liturgy - that we say the same prayers (with slight modifications) every service.   Frankly, I kind of like it.   When somebody I love dies (and somebody I love is dying now,…

Very cute! But I'm kind of amazed that people are superstitious enough that it affects the black cat placement. People are so weird sometimes.

YoYoWannaBe replied to Kiwi's discussion 'What say you Offsprung?'
I may trust my friends, but that doesn't mean I trust my friend's friends. An apartment simply has more unknown people hanging around, and the risk increases as the square of the number of people living there. An apartment complex of 100 units is mo…

My morning sickness is so bad that just looking at this made me puke. Of course tomorrow I'll crave it.

StitchyWench replied to mightyninjamom's discussion 'so, how WAS your labor?'
With Ri, I am certain I was in the first phase of labor for weeks. Hard contractions (not Braxton Hicks but real hard ass contractions) off and on for literally weeks. It would come for hours at a time and then go. When I went in for the last time,…
