Over Afternoon Tea

Tea is not only a drink but a ritual over which people have been relaxing, talking, and catching up on each other's lives for centuries. This blog is intended to serve as a virtual cup of tea, helping me keep in touch with friends and family in my physical absence.

Consider the Friggin' Pigeons

Ever tried to explain to a man why it's necessary to worry about things that manifestly aren't going to go wrong?
"There is a quota of worrying to be done in this world, and if I don't do it, it's going to fall on the shoulders of some poor woman in Tibet."
This argument does not impress them.
"'Your Father in heaven looks after the sparrows,' remember?" Anthony argues.
"Well, they're doing great in Boston."
"And the lilies!"
"The sparrows and the lilies are all frozen in Boston. If they even exist."
"All right then, consider the friggin' pigeons! Or the ducks! Or the idiots! There's an overpopulation of those."
"Which, ducks or idiots or both?"
"Both!"
Because, really, we both love Boston.
