Purgatory?

I was talking with a few med school friends the other day. One had just recently gotten divorced after six months, because his wife was a giant bitch (anyone could have told him that). He said "I think I need to find a new church." I said, "What do you need a church for; it will just cost you time and money."

The girl in the group scoffed. Like I had said something heretical.

The conversation went on from there. The girl said how her grandmother kept a bottle of holy water with her, and splashed it on every kid she saw so they would not have to go to purgatory.

I said, "I thought they got rid of purgatory."

She said, "I guess she didn't get the message."

Music

Have you ever discovered a new song on your computer, one that you had never heard before? Has it brought you joy - a feeling of happiness and euphoria that you haven't felt in a long time.

This happened to me today. "Prize Fighter" by The Velvet Teen popped up on Itune's Party Shuffle. I have not been the same since.
