Sometimes life just seems like a series of toilet flushes...

Jesus is just okay with me Joel. But that bit about the fig tree bugs me.

Thanks for getting back to me on that Joel
I like this bit from Kerouac’s essay Lamb, No Lion.

Being bugged is not being beat. You maybe withdrawn, but you don't have to be mean about it. Beatness is not a form of tired old criticism. It is a form of spontaneous affirmation.

The story about the healing on the Sabbath never interested me that much. I suppose it was all those years I drove on the Sabbath. Just another day, less traffic.
These days I seem to celebrate two Sabbaths. Seventh day and First day. Some kind of transmogrification of the religion of my mothers before me and the one I chose as an adult. I would like to start a new slacker religion with a four-day Sabbath.

The woman at the well I have thought about quite a bit.

I have not read all the Gospels from beginning to end, except maybe for Luke he is my favorite. A Greek physician by trade and ethnicity I think?

I love this Album.

Luke The Drifter

That's Where I am kinda sorta too.
For some reason I think of George W. Bush and his success, his confidence, his moral clarity. And I don’t feel so bad being a loser.
