If my core beliefs were dinner.

Want to understand my beliefs about nearly everything in life without having to put up with me in person?

All derive from sources including family and friend, male, female, history, plus animals and plants. Liberally slathered with the nasty gauntlet seeping daily from my mind.

The dinner as promised, representing the core...

The first course is Robin Willams.

The side dish is Lenny Bruce.

The main dish is George Carlin.

And if you aren't feeling sufficiently sauced yet...

The after-dinner drink is Thomas Jefferson.

See a pattern? I think comedians have the best grasp on what matters in this world.

It also proves, as should be obvious, that Barb is an incredibly patient, considerate lady.
