Methodists, and a dream
Jan. 9th, 2003 11:30 amAs I waited for longer than I wanted to for the 450 bus from Salem to Haymarket this morning, I noticed that the Wesley Church across the street from me had a sign advertising who was going to be giving the sermon Sunday morning at the 9:45 AM service:
PREACHING
JACK
LOMBARDO
As I pondered it more and more, having little else to do, it seemed to me like a nickname: Preaching Jack Lombardo.
For instance:
"Yeah, I've heard of Preachin' Jack. But he ain't been seen in these parts since I was knee-high to a grasshopper."
or
"Laaadiees and gentlemen! The heavyweight cham-peeen of the world: Preaching! ... Jack! ... LomBAAARRRdo!!!"
Anyway.
I dreamed last night that I was at an ice skating rink with my youngest stepbrother, and that while I was there a couple unwelcome ex-girlfriends kept calling me up on my cellphone, to my extreme irritation. Incidentally, my friend Spex worked at the skating rink as an overzealous security guy, who would pull a gun on kids whenever they did something unsafe.
