Could you paint one for her? I've had a lot of luck using fabric paint on T-shirts; once it dries, a quick ironing makes it stable.

Nope. Too busy. What she doesn't know about won't hurt the rest of us.

I love the judge's comment on the case: “I don't know how I’m going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not.”

Snerk. Glad I had already swallowed my tea before reading that.

Those photos are stunning and hard to believe some of them are even real. Great link. As for the xylophone - I'd seen it before but enjoyed watching it again.
