My son is due any day now. A man at a recent talk I gave mentioned that he saw a billboard that predicted the 2nd coming of Christ on 5/21. I joked about being the Messiah’s father and how much of a surprise that would be.
Maybe he wasn’t the one to joke around about such things with because he started to quote scripture about the second coming and how we had no idea where on earth it would happen, but somehow we’d all see it, hear it, and know it.

Maybe there’s a reason corporations are looking elsewhere. The American worker puts out less and wants paid more. As Jon Stewart puts it on the Daily Show we once did it all day and all night, seven days a week, in every room, even the ones without fire exits.
