Take the Cannoli So, I'm reading Sarah Vowell's Take the Cannoli.  It's really good.  She's a talent, that Sarah Vowell.  Here she is on what it's like to have left behind a life steeped in Old Time Religion: I miss the harmony.  Some Sunday mornings, in the middle of secular superstitious rituals like reading The New York Times Magazine or watching that berserk Sam Donaldson on TV, I'll hum "I'll fly away" as I make coffee, remembering what it was like to have a Sunday morning purpose, remembering what it was like to have someplace to go, even if it was just hell. Definitely a talent, that Sarah Vowell. 10:29:27 PM    comment []
