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.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
