Visigoths

Another period of silence-- this time for family, as my wife's relatives came for a visit. As (Samuel Johnson?) said, "Fish and house guests stink after three days."

When I saw one of them drown a perfectly good steak (grass-fed, organic, local, tender, succulent, juicy) in ketchup-- without even tasting it first, I was appalled.

And as a comment on that, today is the anniversary of the day the Visigoths sacked Rome, in 410 A.D.

Now I wonder why I thought of that?

Okay, we've got our lives and routines back. Now to ketchup on everything.
