To Live Like The Hu-Man
Now Playing: The Microphones--"Florida Beach"
A friend and ex-coworker of mine, who I hadn't seen in some considerable time, stopped by work yesterday to say hello. Her schedule makes it impossible to come by when we're open, and I really don't like her workplace (and apparently she feels the same way). So it was quite a pleasant surprise to see her. We decided to go get a beer at Ashley's, as it was happy hour, and had a very pleasant time. I felt weird the whole time, as I don't hang out around other people too much and wonder on occasion if my social skills have permanently withered. I also realized how much more pleasant life is when you're with someone else in any capacity. Thanks, Elizabeth.

Oh, and another thing. I'm not Catholic and I obviously believe that people make considerable personal transformations in their lives, especially from the way they were as adolescents. That said, do you suppose that anyone in the recent papal conclave asked "do y'all think we shouldn't elect someone who was in the Hitler Youth?" Just a thought.

Where does she work and why don't you like it?
Was Ratzinger in the Hitler Youth Organization? Sometimes your messages are a bit cryptic.
Love,

Grizzly Peak Brewery, the patrons make me feel like I'm not making enough money (I'm not, but still...) and the beer's not very good, and yes (he was also in the Wehrmacht for a bit, but apparently deserted towards the end of the war).

Sorry 'bout that. I am what I am.

I love it...a line from La Cage...And you don't have to be anything to anyone other than YOU.

Anyway--have you ever toured the Abita Brewery? It's a trip. Dave and I went; I expected some pristine kind of setting (like Coors or something). The guy that gave the tour was sitting on the back of a pickup truck smoking when we drove up...he was in cutoffs and I FOOLISHLY expected folks in white lab coats! It was a hoot! You need to expereince it. We'd love to take you!

Love,
Mom

I'm calling him Pope Palpatine I.

A lot of analysis I've read has characterized him as a bit of a Rebound Pope--someone to hold the course while the cardinals try to figure out what direction to take the Church. I'm not sure about that, really, because JP2 was sick for so long that they did have time to think about that.

This has nothing to do with yor posting, but...
Joe Heller is the cartoonist for the Green Bay newspaper. I love his cartoons, and think you might enjoy them.
You can access www.greenbaypressgazette.com and then go the the Joe Heller link which is down a bit on the page (they recently re-did the page and it's a little hard to find at first). He seems to be kind of ...LIBERAL (AUGH!!)
Lovingly,
Mom

Thanks, Mom--I'll have to check him out. Nothing wrong with being a liberal--that's what makes this country so great.
