Happiness always accompanies with you

Truly, these are words to live by in these dark days, when the Mets are not involved in October baseball, I have to read "Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Medieval Iberia: Convivencia through the Eyes of Sephardic Jews" and take an econ midterm, and gay wrestlers aren't safe to walk the streets at night. Thank you to the fine folks at Canal Express for bringing me such an ungrammatically uplifting fortune cookie.

In other news, the gtown community was saddened by the death of 105 yr. old Rev. James A. Martin, SJ (pretty sure he's one of the guys in this daguerreotype) on October 1st of extreme old age. Father Martin was the world's oldest living Jesuit. Walking back from the dining hall tonight with peanut we noticed a bunch of signs behind Harbin telling people not to park there, because of a funeral. Of course one douchebag had parked their grey station wagon right next one of the signs causing me and peanut considerable consternation. However, on reflection I diffused the situation saying, "It's probably just the priest's widow."

RIP Fr. Martin, and I'm sure happiness accompanies with you to the afterlife.
