12.12.12

One, two. One, two.  Basic army training.  The Pope twits. The Koreans launch a long range rocket. Marching to the altar  seems more popular than preparing for doomsday. We will never get the  unlucky 13/13/13. Imagine Baker's Dozen/Baker's Dozen/Baker's Dozen.

Historic purity

Visited Charleston recently. Spent two days in the historic district - my wife shopping, me - looking for a spray deodorant. No CVS, no Rite Aid, no Duane Reade. Nothing. In New York I am obsessed with the extraordinary number of these stores that open on every block. In historic Charleston they are serious about maintaining an historic atmosphere. But  no deodorant?

End. For now.

Another end of the world. Not another beginning. The END. This is serious. In the cards. Not to be missed. But just in case, pay your electric bill.
