The Good Book

Am I of an age, right now, at which 9:30 AM is early or just the morning? After spending a blistering 24 hours with some old college companions in their final semester, it seems somehow different than it once was. Much, much worse.

I've just started reading this book, perhaps you've heard of it -- The Bible. I guess that's not really true, but I did just check out the wikipedia page about the Book of Esther, which turned me on to Sodom and Gomorrha (get it?!?!?), leading me in a somewhat roundabout way back to the Book of Samuel. Regardless, check it: I stumbled across this quotation from the Song of Hannah:

Talk no more so very proudly,
Let not arrogance come from
your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of
knowledge,
and by him actions are
weighed. (1 Samuel 2.3)

Out of the park, Sammy. Out of the park.
