Reminds me of the physician in Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry. Remember him stumbling over the corpse a couple times with nose in book?

From high on a hill consider the hurried city now far into the night hours below, as far above all the wondering of busy man the stars remain; be humble, the sky has opened the depths of unfathomable galleries of life and death.

My quote is inspired by a story 4E told me as we were lunching in his favourite eatery, The House of Pies. He said Orson Welles used to come in here and order a whole cocoanut cream pie, sit in that booth over there and eat it all.


"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch."

At services Sunday, Pastor said that his favourite food on Thanksgiving was anything that ended with the word 'pie'.

So, we too will cook up a fine meal and celebrate the anniversary of the immigrant's forced assimilation of the Native Americans!

Even so, I still like turkey and stuffing (and sweet tater pie).
