Episcopalians, Anglicans,Take Note!

No. 1 on a long list of helpful household hints sent to me by my daughter:

  1. I have known only one person who did this (and that person was somewhat "unbalanced"--for quite other reasons) but I shall try it out. It just seems so wrong, somehow.

    More evidence of how arbitrary the manner in which we do most things.

  2. Paul, I don't know exactly why - a touch of insanity, perhaps - but your comment made me laugh out loud. I have never seen anyone do this.

  7. Oh, dear. The thought of watching a Bishop eat a banana has left me thinking of that old joke:

    It might lead to dancing.

  11. Alcibiadss, you and your family are our first testers. Thanks for the report.

    Does this mean that primates are always right? Nooooo, I don't think so.
