Thoughts on writing, living, and believing…
For us in the West, Ash Wednesday (this Wednesday as a matter of fact) begins the season of Lent. But today, I’d like to share with you a lovely reflection from one of our brothers in the East. Dear old, crotchety, Fr. Tom Hopko…I love this guy:
It’s ~16 minutes long. Take part of your lunch hour and listen.
As if the product on the court weren’t embarrassing enough lately, now we have this…
Got a minute? Take a little test:
1. Can you change a tire?
2. Can you sew?
3. Can you unclog a drain?
4. Can you cook?
5. Can you make fire?
6. Can you disassemble major household appliances AND successfully put them back together WITH extra parts left over (this is known as improving the design)?
7. Can you find your way without asking for help?
8. Are you going a little thin up top?
9. Do you need to shave every day?
If you answered yes to all these questions, you might be a man. There is one more diagnostic test that may be needed to determine that fact with certainty.
However, if this describes you in any way, don’t bother!

Seriously, can someone let me know, cuz I don’t get this.

You don’t know me but I’m one of millions who suffer from a chronic disorder called I.A.D.
We are all around you: we’re your friends, co-workers, neighbors, the kid who makes your latte in the morning. Until now, we’ve mostly kept in the shadows, especially when our symptoms flare up.
In some people I.A.D. is very obvious, while for others, it lies dormant waiting for the proper conditions to take over a individual’s system. Unfortunately, once it does, it can flare up more easily, especially during times of stress.
I.A.D. is unsightly, embarrassing, and for those with advanced forms of the disorder, uncontrollable.
But now, thanks to new research, I.A.D. sufferers can come out of the shadows! We are free to lead normal lives once again because, while there is no known cure as yet, research shows that the entire population of the world actually has the same disorder! While tragic, this is also very comforting!
To check your levels of I.A.D., take this simple diagnostic test:

[Geez. This could only happen in Chicago.]
And a gratuitous cute dog video…
Um, squee, I guess. Oh God, I hate myself.
Pick one:
1) Things are not always what they seem.
2) Keeping one’s balance in life isn’t always easy.
3) Some goats, like some people, are jerks.
