![]() Warm, generous, sun-drenched: a world of strawberry-picking and white tablecloths in orchards on warm evenings where all guests are welcome and, if you like it well enough, you don’t ever have to leave. ![]() As the first tenuous signs of spring try to force their way through the rain and sharp winds here in London, I decided I needed a bit of bucolic escapism and bought myself the book (and its sequels). But plot? I honestly couldn’t remember much. I also grew to assume that my paternal grandmother, a farmer’s wife who died when I was small, must have been pretty much like Pam Ferris’s Ma Larkin. ![]() ![]() The word ‘perfick’ made an impression, of course, and I remember that, every time Catherine Zeta-Jones came on screen as Mariette, my dad would shake his head and say, “I don’t know what they see in her”. I have vague memories of watching the Darling Buds of May TV series in the early 1990s, although I was too young for much to register. ![]()

Oh! And the light comedy “Se7en,” where Gwyneth Paltrow’s head gets sent to Brad Pitt in a box. Hawthorne’s “The House of Seven Gables” and “Seven Days in May” by Fletcher Knebel. “7 Nation Army” by the White Stripes and “Seven Year Ache” by Roseanne Cash. The “seven” thing extends beyond humor across the creative world. ![]() ![]() For whatever reason, “seven” resonates in a big way. I’m thinking Woody Allen or maybe Albert Brooks.Īnyway, the comic was talking about the rhythm of comedy - how certain syllabic combinations work better than others - and certain numbers are funnier than others. What they didn’t realize is that their jokes were going to be played on a loop to torture suspected terrorists at the Salt Pit - the clandestine CIA black site in Afghanistan.Īs for the interview, it was with someone a little more, ah, thoughtful. It wasn’t Larry the Cable Guy or Gallagher because, at the time, they were working on a secret collaborative routine of their finest material. I remember reading an interview with a comedian once, many years ago. ![]() ![]() Kieran Bailey, a sexy, hardworking lieutenant at Station 73, has been reaping the rewards of being crowned the city’s hottest fireman, which his crew never lets him forget. That is, until he’s thrown over the shoulder of one of Chicago’s finest and hauled out of a burning building. ![]() ![]() He’s more than fulfilled with his company and his closest friends, and no one is going to shake up the status quo.

No need to get bogged down in the details of inside vs. So in Truth – above the line in Ken’s famous metaphysics chart – all placeholder words are equivalent, since there is only Perfect Oneness when we awaken from dualistic dreams. As Ken Wapnick reminds us, we can’t stray too far from the (pure non-dual) metaphysics of ACIM. ![]() ![]() Yet, perhaps this was intentional to remind us that in pure non-duality – our happily inevitable destiny, there is no “other” and beyond the “top of the ladder” in our journey home (to where we never left) our identity must be identical as One Spirit to all, since there is no other. This seems to be the opposite order of how I think of myself typically as a tiny fragment of something much larger, in turn a part of something even further beyond human comprehension, with the “silly seemingly separate self” being a merely a “part” that I imagined went AWOL from the Christ Mind which is the metaphoric offspring of the Perfect Oneness that created Us. The way this is phrased evokes a visual of nesting Our Creator within the Christ Mind within Our Real Identity – the capital “S” eternally shared and infinitely inclusive Self. Today’s Workbook Lesson – particularly the latter part of the title – ” … in Him (Christ or Holy Spirit) is His Creator, as He is in me ( ACIM, W-354) – reminded me of the metaphor of Russian Dolls, or perhaps a Venn Diagram, if you’re familiar with either of those. ![]() ![]() ![]() When his suspicions land on Anne and Marco, the strain in the marriage that the couple had tried desperately to ignore threatens to overwhelm them.

They are still too dependent on you, and you have to stop helping them solve all of their problems.” I’ve been telling them for years that they need to move out of Dad’s house. ![]() “Vi, just hang up on them when they get like that. My reply is slow and controlled because I know that’s exactly what Vi needs to hear. If they weren’t full-grown, professional athletes, I swear they’d be in a case study for how apes could function in society. ![]() Our three younger brothers are far too similar to the Three Stooges.
