Shameless Advertisements

A new restaurant "Public Eat & Drink" has opened down the street from me and is supposed to be good. (Onion rings with horseradish sauce? How can that go wrong?) And a Berkshire Deals site was offering a $30 gift certificate for $15, so I bought one. Good deal. Even better deal if I convince a few other people to grab this offer.

This coming Friday will be the end-of-autumn comedy night at the Red Herring. In addition to our improv troupe, we're getting stand-up comedians coming in all the way from Boston! Still figuring out logistics, but if you have no Friday plans, it's a $10 ticket for the full evening, and should be entertaining.

Almost time to start thinking about holiday presents, so buy my book: From God To Verse.

Depressing revelations about the Catholic Church

I know, perhaps you are thinking you've already heard enough about the systemic sexual abuse and the cover-ups that shuffled child-abusing priests around rather than removing them from positions of authority. We talked about it, everyone has talked about it, it's old hat.

mrvoid, perhaps you will make a post about this which I will appreciate. I am too afflicted with rage fatigue at this cartoonish evil to say anything about it.
