This is for you, Mrs. Bear

A nice all-purpose prayer from my own pure brain (this is more of a disclaimer than a brag):
Oh Jesus, please grant that all this person's suffering be the highly salutary kind that brings them ever closer to you, and give them handfuls, scatterings, and showers of happiness.

Inspired by Mrs. Bear

I recently went to a wedding where the groom had kept the honeymoon destination a secret from the bride. Of course this seemed like the perfect setup for the all time coolest honeymoon spot, but the groom foolishly chose Maui instead.

Now, if he had known how crazy cheap it was ($250 one way!), he probably wouldn't have been able to pass it up. In fact, until I read the wikipedia page, I thought this was a trip reserved for the extremely wealthy. Now I'm wondering how I can afford not to go.

And since the subject of italics has come up, I'd like to take a moment for a tribute to Robert Ludlum, aka Man Who Got Paid For Writing "...overworked, overrisked, underpaid..." I had to take a moment to gnaw on my knuckles from pure suspense over that one.

I saw this on Helene's blog, assumed it would be a fun quiz, and went ahead with it. It actually applies an esoteric calculus to your blog and then pops out the answer, so it's a little unsatisfying.
