"An audience with a high level of connoisseurship is as important to the culture as artists."
 - Fran Lebowitz, "Public Speaking"

Meeting a friend in the corridor, Ludwig Wittgenstein said: "Tell me, why do people always say that it was natural for men to assume that the sun went around the earth rather than the earth was rotating?"

His friend responded: "Well, obviously, because it just looks as if the sun is going around the earth."

To which the philosopher replied: "Well, what would it look like if it had looked as if the earth were rotating?"

Jaime threw me a little 32nd birthday party this weekend (a week early, since we have a wedding next weekend). 

Jaime made pulled pork sliders on mini brioche buns.  No pictures of the finished product.

Jaime's homemade soft pretzels with Welsh rarebit (mustard/cheese/ale sauce).

All three Holdermans.
