Random dispatches from the weekend

Saw a movie.
Talked to JWs. Too bad I didn't know beforehand that this month's Awake! tackles those goldurn New Atheists.
Made some chili.
Dug a hole.

Whenever you hear about someone doing something you don't like -- but is legal and none of your business -- practice this exercise until it becomes a natural, easy, fluid motion:

2: pushing from the diaphragm, utter the words "Eh, it's a free country."

1 set x 10 reps daily, and as needed when provoked
