Email: The Jihadist wore pajamas [EH]

I would be more concerned for why the Islamic terrorists were in Star Wars costumes than why you were on a cruise with (but then again, I don't know) your next-door neighbors! Dreams are funny, aren't they?

Web: So do you really like M&Ms?

M&Ms now have eight custom flavors -- or you can custom-print your own color selection of M&Ms (for holiday orders)!

My custom order would be gold and red, saying BABY JESUS and SAINT NICHOLAS. Minimum order is four 7-oz. bags (at $11.50 a bag or $46 per order), but you can get one extra bag if you enter the promo code FREEGIFT24 (yielding five 7-oz. bags at $9.20 a bag or $46 per order).

A very cool idea and Web site, and tempting -- but I’ll see what the prices are next year!

Musings: Boltman and Nutboy

This morning my youngest child laughed but vetoed my suggestion to create a comic-book heroic duo named Boltman and Nutboy (or better yet, Nutjob). I still think (on first blush alone) that the idea has possibilities.

Star Tribune - After two years, Father Tim finds his voice

"Thirty months after suffering a head injury in Iraq, the Catholic priest -- so seriously wounded that doctors at first thought he wouldn't survive -- is now talking."

(I knew Fr. Tim when I lived in Minnesota before his ordination. God is so good!)
