How are you?<BR/><BR/>I have to say, there have been times when I've been tempted to pour water on people for being too loud. I'm looking forward to the day that my iPod completely destroys my hearing and I won't have to worry about such things anymore.<BR/><BR/>Stacey - thanks. The article on Mary Magdalene was in the New Yorker you gave me. I was planning on reading the article and posting my thoughts, but since it's online and people can read it for themseelves, perhaps there will only be 39 days of lent on this blog...the hanged manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705748701233182866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1142006454158447092006-03-10T11:00:00.000-05:002006-03-10T11:00:00.000-05:00oh, s. philly....my story is when our neighbor acr...oh, s. philly....my story is when our neighbor across the street from her 2nd floor window poured a bucket of water on the people sitting below on the sidewalk because they were talking too loud!<BR/><BR/>coletteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1142004492381740462006-03-10T10:28:00.000-05:002006-03-10T10:28:00.000-05:00Stupid blogger comment box thing - looks like it c...Stupid blogger comment box thing - looks like it cut off the link for some reason.<BR/><BR/>Just go to the New Yorker site and search for the damn article on your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1142004284248782602006-03-10T10:24:00.000-05:002006-03-10T10:24:00.000-05:00Well here it is:http://www.newyorker.com/fact/cont...Well here it is:<BR/><BR/>http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060213fa_fact2<BR/><BR/>Only without the printed art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1142003917053884942006-03-10T10:18:00.000-05:002006-03-10T10:18:00.000-05:00I think I forgot to mention this to you, and talk ...I think I forgot to mention this to you, and talk of the gnostic gospels and things not included in the bible reminded me...<BR/><BR/>In one of the recent New Yorkers (hopefully one you grabbed last weekend) there was an article:<BR/><BR/>THE SAINTLY SINNER<BR/>The two-thousand-year obsession with Mary Magdalene.<BR/>by Joan Acocella<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately it can't be found online or I'd include a link for all to enjoy.

That sounds nice and Lenten.<BR/><BR/><BR/>BTW, I saw this lurid History Channel special on some of the gnostic and other biblical books that didn't make it into the official version. Of course it had a title like "Banned from the Bible!!". It was fascinating, especially the books that discussed Jesus' childhood in some detail. For example, He had quite a temper when he was a young 'un, striking people blind who were mean to Joseph, etc.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651035210994960810noreply@blogger.com
