Sunday Morning Coming Down
When younger step dad used to sing this as we come down stairs Sunday morning. He was by far and away no Man In Black. Always found it hilarious (not in a good way) him professing to be a good Christian yet me seeing all the *ahem* shit *cough* covering him. Learned later on that our world is filled with such pricks. "Lalala."
Me & wife went into La granja (the farm), a family run Mexican grill, yesterday. They are devout Catholics. I'm sure they're well aware my wife is Pagani, which is the old Latin for Pagan or "one who lives in the hills". It was first used by Catholics as a slur to describe the poor, uneducated "trash" that well, lived out and beyond the sphere of a Catholic church. The Pagan was not taught Latin, not taught to read and write.
Yet the Catholic learning to spell words, and put words to form was quick to point to Pagans practicing witchcraft. Oddly that was exactly what Catholics did. I digress though. This tale is not about that.
We get sit near the iconography of a crucifix any time we go in. Me and her get a chuckle. They're either thinking the crucifix will protect them, or just maybe it'll convert us. *chuckles* I know they are also aware I'm an apathetic agnostic, for lack of better we get lumped in as atheist. *shrugs* Oh well.
We're no trouble at all and in fact are what restaurants call rain makers (those who when present cause a business to thrive as in making $1,000+ working hours). They love seeing us come in, we bring plenty of money for them.
I even used to make it rain working at restaurants. Would often announce to the gals up front taking orders, "We're gonna roll, be ready and go!" The newer girls never understood until they had experienced my money hours. I kept more than a few places afloat doing that.
Did near everything but work register, and paper work for a place like that. Did do paper for a rolling inventory & yes worked register once or twice. Beyond that I avoided "company take". I was bonded by a few employers so it wasn't that I would "dip", I just didn't feel cozy with handling money like that.
Well, morning, hope everyone has a good un & run er slow.
