I love that. <br /><br />Like you, I'm not a fan of Hitchens' either (He was Jon Stewart's guest on the Daily Show the other night... talk about self-aborption! wow....)<br /><br />BUT the thought of halitosis being so bad as to undo one's tie....? Pretty funny... I think he might have also been referring to my sweet (but chronically halitosis plagued) dog Ruby. :)<br /><br />Congrats to David going to Gonzaga - excellent school!Tracey Axnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241222434446828594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-59470017790915246302010-06-18T11:58:18.467-07:002010-06-18T11:58:18.467-07:00Wow!

Why not me? <br /><br />Sounds like David has a wonderful adventure ahead of him at a wonderful school! : ) <br /><br />Love your ending quotes. Too funny! :)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256281745796890125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-63616207346276611382010-06-17T09:27:19.009-07:002010-06-17T09:27:19.009-07:00Karen, I've sent you an email.

Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-62200203575904276152010-06-16T21:05:56.716-07:002010-06-16T21:05:56.716-07:00I'm at the place right now that's a terrib...I'm at the place right now that's a terrible form of fatalism--"there's no fixing this broken world". Why try? I know intuitively that it's not right, but can't seem to fight my way through it. I like seeing how others deal with overwhelming suffering and admire those who get up and do something about it. I pray that one day I will be that person again. Pray for me, Karen. <br /><br />P.S. Gonzaga will be wonderful for both you and David! How exciting!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519140951660677172noreply@blogger.com
