focus on the pizza sauce, baby

holiday or no, today's sunday, which means it's pizza day at here at bccy.

however in honor of the day, i'm using some fire-roasted tomatoes in the sauce. they add a great smoky flavor that enhances the pepperoni mr. right favors.

long-time readers know i personally think pizza comes in one flavor -- margherita -- but hey, it's a big world. i'll just enjoy my own pizza the way i like it and toss the pepperoni on his, hmmm?

i'm also going to see spiderman 2 today, mostly as means of avoiding the television.

devoted readers understand my connection to 9-11. and so i'm sure they also understand why today's completely opportunistic "ceremony," the laying of the supposed "foundation stone," carved with the screaming caps "enduring freedom," frankly makes me sick.

as the usual stinking pile of political bloviators dutifully line up for the expected photo op -- really why isn't the handpicked audience of "observers" screaming, "where's the money you promised new york? why are you leaving the first-responders bereft?"

and we won't even mention the question of the six-foot-plus mass-murderer, whose name the news reports seem unable to say today. along with several other key terms. . .

oops! i keep forgetting -- whether of the left or right, there are just some things we aren't allowed to talk about any longer. yet i can't go on like this, because political talk of this nature is not only boring, but in this situation, actually obscene.

it's important in yoga to remember our positive intention. so even tho' i'm not a saints-n-angels type, and while i haven't seen or felt him (although i know several people who claim to have witnessed him personally), i leave you with the person we should be hearing about today.
