In the mornings, I listen to Morning Edition while I get dressed. I was running late this morning, so I was still listening when Morning Edition ended and the classical program began. Lois Reitzes, the best radio announcer evah, said that she was going to play songs from the Spaghetti Westerns and other Italian movies. Lo and behold, the first thing she played was part of the score from Cinema Paradiso. I love that movie and the music makes me happy. SO now, I'm in a wonderful mood. I hope it keeps up.

How are y'all? AB, I like your entry.

I hate the name thread now. Two things:

1.) People really decide whether to take their spouse's name or not based on how close the initial is to the front of the alphabet?! Well, crap. I'm in great shape then. Right near the front of the line.

2.) Seriously, all my friends have gotten married in the past two years, so I've been to a lot of weddings. Who really thinks that the ceremony is just transfering the woman from the control of one family to another? Isn't the point that both are leaving their families to start a new one?

First of all, I think that is ludicrisp. (Not to be confused with Super Sugar Crisp) Secondly, are they lining up for lunch at the office these days? Since when do adults care how close to the front of the alphabet they are? So silly.

"2.) Who really thinks that the ceremony is just transfering the woman from the control of one family to another? Isn't the point that both are leaving their families to start a new one?"

That was my perception. When V and I got married, I couldn't wait to be unassociated from, first, my ex's name, and second, for V, Mad, and I to have our OWN family. And I wouldn't even think of going back to my maiden name or keeping my first married name. I wanted us to all be Chao! I would also like that for Mad, as I do think it makes a difference if your name is different than your mom's and dad's. Mine was, growing up, and I always wished it was the same as my mom's.

It's from this cookbook I have here. The Monroe Junyaleague knows what's up. Here's the recipe: Fried Cheese Grits Party Bites 1 cup quick-cooking grits
1 tsp salt
4 cups boiling water
1 full cup extra sharp American cheese, finely chopped
1 egg, slightly beaten
Dash red pepper

Cook grits as directed on package. When done, remove from fire and stir in cheese and egg. Continue stirring until cheese is melted. Add red pepper to taste. Grits should have a distinct cheesy flavor. If more cheese is needed to get this desired flavor, add at this point. Stir again until melted. Pour grits into shallow pan or dish. Grits should not be more than one-half inch thick in dish. When completely cool, put in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. When ready to serve, cut into bite-size slices. Put in paper bag containing enough flour to coat grits. Fry in hot deep fat until golden. Drain well and serve at once. Thank you, Mrs. Grayson Guthrie.

I read somewhere (I think it was one of Kim Rollins' wedding columns from back in the day, but I wouldn't take the stand on that) that in one of those Halloween-type weddings, a horrified relative asked, "Are they taking the marriage seriously? Because they sure aren't taking the wedding seriously."

And I kind of have her back. Making the marriage commitment is a very serious choice, and while I'm as un-serious a person as you'll ever see, I'd like my wedding to reflect the gravity of the occasion. I don't think I could pull that off if my guests and I were all dressed in Halloween costumes, or if the Monster Mash was playing in the background.

And Mike, I agree with you about the gravity of the ceremony. That's why I don't mind that Catholic ceremonies are more than an hour long. When I was with Duncan, we went to several of his family's weddings, and several of mine. The weddings in his family usually lasted twenty minutes, and he would bitch and moan about my family's. My response was that in my opinion, a it was perfectly alright if a lifetime commitment warranted more than twenty minutes of our time.

T, at a friend's wedding - she is protestant - because she wanted it to last more than 20 minutes, she had me sing six songs at different times during the ceremony.

I did it, but since I refused to have the thing turn into The Allison Lowe Show, I sang them, next to the organ, from the back choir loft. That was one long-ass wedding for the non-Catholics in the house. People were looking at their watches.

Dude, Halloween is not a holy day to anyone, anyway. It's the day of the dead, y'all. It's a day to remember the DEAD. And why on earth would anyone want to celebrate that day by getting married? These people AMAZE me.

Just for reference:

"The ancient Druids who inhabited what we now call Great Britain placed great importance on the passing of one season to the next, holding "Fire Festivals" which were celebrated for three days (two days on either side of the day itself).

One of these festivals was called Samhain (pronounced Sha-Von) and it took place on October 31 through to November 1. During this period, it was believed that the boundaries between our world and the world of the dead were weakened, allowing spirits of the recently dead to cross over and possess the living.

This yearly festival was adopted by the Roman invaders, who helped to propagate it throughout the rest of the world (and at that time, the Roman Empire was the world). The word "Halloween" itself actually comes from a contraction of All Hallows Eve, or All Saint's Day (November 1), which is a Catholic day of observance in honour of saints.

This tradition was later brought to the North American continent by Irish immigrants who were escaping the Potato Famine in their homeland. In addition to the festival itself, the immigrants brought several customs with them, including one of the symbols most commonly associated with Halloween -- the Jack 'O Lantern."

I like that, M. A lot. Of course, I also think a good name for your journal would be "The Hanrahan Family Web Site."

I should actually give Allison props, in public, for saving me from disaster. I was going to call one of my fantasy football teams "That Pederast Hanrahan" (from Fletch), not realing what "pederast" meant.

Y'all! Meg leans toward paganism! Why do all the good stories break on Friday after deadline?

Hee! It was maybe one of my favorite Mike Moments. You can always count on me, yo. I know you'd do the same, for any of us.

Y'all, I'm oot. I am leaving early, following the example of Napoleon.

I'll probably not be in touch much this weekend, until Sunday, so I ask for your **prayers**, Wiccan or otherwise, for my trip with JoAnn to LaGrange.

Love y'all.

I think Meg's just bucking for a promotion, there. She doesn't even know what paganism IS. Well, maybe she does. Ferrets are definitely OF THE DEVIL.

Ok, now I'm really out.

I'm out as well, until Monday late afternoon/evenings (unless I decide to come in Sunday and work on the site). Have great weekends. Call the cell Saturday afternoon and say Hi to Meloonsa.

The internet was down, and now it's back up. But I'm heading out, too. I want to go see Malena this weekend. Tomorrow, C and I are heading to Athens. We have reservations at the downtown Holiday Inn. We celebrate things in style, I'll tell you that for free.

I'll be in on Sunday, though, so...

Awww yeah. There's an indoor pool at the Holiday Inn, y'all. Nice.
