So I’m driving First Son to school this morning, and who should I hear on NPR’s Morning Edition but Uncle Terry? Woot!
Then I had the boy read Psalm 50 aloud:
Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense.
Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me…
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

That's a great show. We should hold a Korrektiv Summit in Austin someday and get your uncle to front us some tix.
I'm interested in the psycho-spiritual dynamic that led you to have your son read Psalm 50 after hearing your uncle on the radio. Fascinating.
I mean, I think I grok it, is what I'm saying. I'm onto your superfreak Catholic ways.
Hey, do you still say three HMs with the cold water running? I dig it man. Seriously. Not trying to give you a hard time.
I wish I had a more interesting psycho-spiritual dynamic. I had already selected that Psalm for our morning drive.
Yeah, I still do the three Hail Marys under cold. The world is too much with me.
"I had already selected the Psalm…"
There! That's exactly what I mean!
You serious? I heard this today and wondered!
AUSTIN IS NOT FAR FROM HERE.
I think we were all listening to NPR this morning and thought the same thing.
Bernardo – yes, I'm serious. That's my dad's brother. Dorian, Jonathan, Rufus: it seems pretty clear that the Spirit is moving here…
Further: I have an invitation for Gerasene in Brownsville…
Sorry, I didn't get to hear. – I was listening to Moby Dick on tape – and switching over to Mike & Mike in the Morning (ESPN) to catch something (anything!) on the upcoming anticipated bitch-slap NY is going to put on Dallas this Sunday….
