How Nice to be Nice!

How nice to be nice!
To tolerate vice,
And give honour to every perversion.
To love without boundaries,
Ideological quandaries,
And have Faith, but one's own private version.

Dry Times Ahead!

Just back from Mass, where the Priest read the Bishop's Pastoral Letter, in which all Polish Catholics are enjoined to abstain from alcohol during August.

It's even harder here in Advent and Lent, when we are expected to give up alcohol, music, and dancing.

My neighbours, though, claim that beer is not alcohol, only food, that wine is a tonic, and that vodka is medicine (but not in August).
