    Rugby At The Phoenix

    November 14, 2010 - By 

    First night in London finds us at the Phoenix in Westminster, and it’s a family affair for England vs. Australia. Nice pub, very cozy, real fire in the fireplace, and very ambitious pub food.

Scott Hayashi served Utah’s Episcopal Church, he was puzzled by some parishioners’ tendency to define themselves by what they weren’t:  Mormons. He even remembers pointing out the silliness in a sermon at Ogden’s Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, where he was rector from 1989 to 1998. “I asked, ‘Does this mean if…

    Sabre2thless Tigress – That’ll Teach Me Not To Floss

    If you think dentistry is squicky or disgusting, it’s probably best if you just move along to something else, possibly involving unicorns frolicking in a meadow. With spoons. That said, let’s move on to the events leading up to yesterday’s rather unpleasant activities, which involved: A loud sucking noise, with disturbing interruptions that went “THHHUPPP!

My head being used for leverage, very thoroughly but considerately. Clearly, I was not having a great…
