In the "dim time", I played hockey on a team once where the associate priest from my parish was the goaltender. On the ice, he didn't "turn the other cheek" much -- he was well-known for his stick work in front of the net.

(There must be something about Catholic religious and their fondness for waving wooden sticks...)

Worldwide reaction to Hamas' victory in the recent Palestinian elections ranged from whinging to winzing (and many wingdings on the part of the Hamas faithful), while some observers noted that this surprising outcome would be a scoviness on the "Roadmap to Peace" in the Middle East.

Apologies to the three sisters weird in Macbeth:

DNC's Charm Againt Alito:

Whinge of Kerry,
Blubber of Ted,
Winzed and wattled,
Boxer bled
Into the cauldron – clean them out!
Fillibuster fillibuster boom and shout.
Telephone tree
Caller go
Noise of Feinstein,
Lieberman’s toe
Into the cauldron – clean them out!
Fillibuster fillibuster boom and shout.
Wingding doodah,
DU Blue
Tereza’s pills
Michael Moore’s voodoo
Into the cauldron – clean them out!
Fillibuster fillibuster boom and shout

I live in VB, but not near the oceanfront. I could afford the house, but the insurance made it impossible. SO I'm about 10 miles inland.



I thought you were just over the Peninsula in Va. which is why I mentioned it

I'm north on rte 13, near the Maryland line, about equidistance from both the Atlantic and the Chesapeake, about 90 minutes or so north of you.
