What memories these bring back to the college days and working at "Pete's Tavern." I'll never forget how one of the cooks hated me, and I was once Paulina Poriscova's nervous and clumsy server. I also remember walking home at around 1 or 2 am after a night of work. (Dad never did find out that I did that. To this day, he still thinks I took a cab!)Kara Gott Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295160383067126739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-79948641711800045202008-05-22T09:24:00.000-04:002008-05-22T09:24:00.000-04:00Whoomp!

And that you only rejoice the saving of St. Brigid's because it happens to be in the EV, and a symbol -- a building (because it is the butter-yellow beauty), of your old NY, not because it's the spiritual body of Christ, a place of salvation, a household of God. So, you're as self-serving and soulless as the yunnies, yuppies, that you deride. In other words you're a hypocrite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-33098328750508709902008-05-21T22:04:00.000-04:002008-05-21T22:04:00.000-04:00i don't understand how my rejoicing for the rescue...i don't understand how my rejoicing for the rescue of an old church is soulless--please explain.Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-83461106659307168022008-05-21T21:26:00.000-04:002008-05-21T21:26:00.000-04:00Or in your case, Jeremiah, everything old is pure ...Or in your case, Jeremiah, everything old is pure gold squeezed from the ass of Jesus H.
