Religion, John Olerud, religion.

Quote of the week.

From Eugene Volokh: "People still often say how they read something or do something 'religiously,' presumably to mean 'without fail' or 'with dedication' -- for instance, 'I read your blog religiously'....But shouldn't it, for most people, mean 'reluctantly, twice a year'?"

John Olerud update of the week.

He is batting 8-for-10 (.800, duh) in "extended spring training," whatever that is. I mean, c'mon, Boston. Bring him up already.

Employment update.

I have an interview three weeks from today (would have been sooner except for my vacation) to become the part-time music director at a Baptist church. I seem pretty well-qualified for the position (minus the clause "Bachelors in Music preferred"), and the woman I talked to seemed excited about interviewing me, so. We'll see what comes of it.
