rf, church was fine. Lots of neighbors there, good vibe. I’m not speaking in tongues and my kids seem to still have an OK grasp on logic. I found the things people were saying about the Easter Bunny to be much more disturbing than the God stuff (I mean really?? A rabbit that (1) lays eggs and (2) has nothing better to do than hide them for children to find??? That’s just ridiculous). At one point my 4 year old apparently got into the sermon and we had this exchange in a stage whisper:
Benson: By the end of the day, I usually have the gun to my head, and am close to pulling the trigger.
Funny…haha… The kids at the dinner (my friend’s brothers kids) were like that. Also everyone talks at once, loudly. The McLauglin group, which was a kind of prototype for shows of its kind, had its origin in these kinds of Irish families. I remember when the old man was alive (great guy), they used to joke “We had to cut him off at the Boar War” about how he lectured on the history of the world.
For us old-timers, the best Iced Coffee is “Manhattan Special”.
Thank you Arkady. Boer war.

“God is all around us!”
“Uh, sure, if you like.”
“most places just pour hot coffee over ice, which makes a watery bitter mess”
Nothing worse! I’d prefer to have a glass of water.
?Boar War at a pig-out? Boer for accuracy or, for cuteness, Bore.
Agree with you there, dh. The key is to make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.
“I am starting to think that Brownstoner is post-Brownstone.”
I would comment, but don’t want to be accused of anything.
My new party line: Mr. B. is just a gosh darn swell guy.

DIBS – most places just pour hot coffee over ice, which makes a watery bitter mess.
good places use some method called “cold brew” – which isn’t very easy to do (i’ve tried!!)
