I don't know what worries me more...

Review: The Southeast Christian Church Easter Pageant

Easter Pageant?! What is this, amateur hour? Who cares about some piddly church passion play? What's next, "Best Little Christmas Pageant Ever"?

Randomness...

My face looks like a roadmap to Hell. --Anonymous * * * Things are all quiet at work these days--everyone's preparing for the onrush of Windows 7 (whatever it shall be called... VII , maybe?), and trying to progress to...uh...wherever we're going. Printers to make, toner & ink to sell...same old, same old.
