Richard who lives slightly to the east.

 Gosh the posts on some well known seldom read blogs have been 'interesting' lately. It all seems to be about the pope and lawn mowing. Robert who lives slightly to the west brought up morals in a comment on The Religious Curmudgeon's latest post.

"Our society is all about what feels right. Morals are whatever you want them to be."

I bet he's saying that because he thinks his god made morals. Remember the ten commandments? I think his god was too concerned with what people thought about HIM - no false gods, etc. I think he wasted three commandments on that. 

The morals that we need for everyone to have a chance of living a fulfilling life are pretty obvious - don't kill, don't take other people's stuff, etc. You don't need to be a lawnmower technician to work those out. The hard part is getting everyone to practise them.

Anyway, the Testore Trio has a gig on May 4th (11am) at Tawa Library. Yes, I know, 'May the fourth be with you!'.

The trio is Richard - violin, George - 6 string bass, Daryl - guitar. 

We'll be playing some jazz standards and maybe a Neapolitan tune. It'll be good to have the band playing again. 

Okay, back to the blogging community. It seems that the pope has retrieved an old title to put after his name - Patriarch of the West. This is getting both Robert and Peter (two bloggers with a small readership) very excited about their own titles. Robert already has a few going - Robert the Sinner, Robert Sees Things in Sky (I think he's talking about Sky TV), Robert - doctor of mopping and Robert's Potato Bag. Word is that Peter is thinking of using - Peter the Lawnmower Technician, The Curmudgeon Part Three, Peter's 3 Pees or Peter's Thoughts from The Office. That last one can only be used while Lynn is overseas.

People often say to me, "It's great how your blog has never changed its title. It gives us readers a feeling of consistency. We like that."

I guess that's a lesson for both Peter and Robert... listen to your readers, even if there are only two.

Okay, it's going to be a busy day, so I'm off.

Ciao tutti.
