  • The Muse is on Vacation

    with no signs of returning any time soon, but here's an update anyway:

    My Bible reading has unfortunately dwindled lately.  Things are getting busier for me with rehearsals for Arsenic & Old Lace
    and various other activities, so Xanga will probably be on the
    back-burner for a while.  Speaking of Bible reading, however, it
    can be surprising how many familiar sayings come out of the
    Bible.  And speaking of surprises in the Bible, I was astonished
    to see both the names Heman and Sheerah in the book of I Chronicles,
    within a chapter of one another (6 & 7).  I have no idea
    whether the writers of the cartoon series "He-Man" and "She-Ra"
    intentionally borrowed these names from the Bible, and of course the
    historical people have absolutely nothing to do with the cartoon
    characters, but it was interesting nonetheless.  Now I am looking
    intently for "Orco" and "Skeletor"...

    On another subject, I was out for lunch at a pirate-themed restaurant with some
    co-workers when this goofy guy in a pirate hat almost wiped out on a
    slick spot by the tartar/shrimp sauce station.  Good thing there
    weren't any witnesses--except me, of course.  And I wouldn't tell
    anyone.  I'm cool that way.  Wouldn't want to embarrass the guy...

  • No, no... of course not. Are you the land-lubbing pirate poseur in question by any chance, Dan?

  • It is no use Dan. Your family is on to you. We know you only too well, even when disquised as a pirate.

  • Arrrr, I can't BELIEVE they would leave a slick spot on the deck for unsuspecting optometrists in paper pirate hats.

    On another note, it's so nice to read the word Bible on the net and not worry about getting in trouble by the internet spy police .

  • There's absolutely no proof that the guy in a pirate hat was an optometrist and even less proof that the individual was me; the descriptive word "goofy" should have clued everyone in that in all likelihood someone else was involved. "Studly" would have been more apt, of course, as previous Xanga entries have clearly established my studliness.

    However, I do wish to say "Thanks, everyone" for your input, no matter how misguided and mistaken it may be.
