    I am a Southern boy brought up in the Baptist faith, but my friend Joshua and his lovely wife came through town this holiday weekend. We made a nice slow brisket with some kasha and bowties and a lovely tsimmes.

    I feel as though I have atoned. With leftovers. Plus you get wine.

    Try getting some wine to go with your fried chicken and green bean casserole when you stay for dinner on the ground at my former church. Not going to happen. But, there is banana pudding. It's like a Baptist tsimmes, but it comes at the end. Well, if you're lucky, and you've been good, it does.

    I appreciate the guys' comments on customer service. I work in a call center (not for Verizon) and I can attest that we get a lot of calls from people that, we as low level employees, are unable to help. It's easy to understand customers' frustrations, but options are limited for the person on the other end of the line.

    JP - We were also told by people running that they would force Obama to veto bill after bill. They did lie about that.

    And if James Lileks teaches a course in the Great Courses on Transitions, J-Pod should take it.
