In a couple of minutes I'll be going out to a nearby church to hear some church music written by an atheist. Really. She's a lapsed Catholic presenting this music in a gorgeous cathedral as part of her thesis. She's a friend of a friend of mine, coincidentally the same guy who recently submitted research showing that mice do run in exercise wheels left in the woods, just for the fun of it. He is remarkably good-humored about being submitted for an Ignoble Prize for his efforts.
Afterwards, I'll walk a couple of blocks to Bad Habits, where they have a Monster TV set up in the patio, there to watch the first World Cup game, between Brazil and Croatia. I am SO not a football fan, but hey! it's the World Cup, and if Tibetan boy-monks go to all the trouble we saw in the film "The Cup" to see it, there must be something there to pay attention to. You guys have fun whatever you're doing...
