I was looking up a different thing and saw it... I couldn't remember St. Jude - patron saint of bachelors and lost causes. My mother got me a St. Jude medal once (nice of her, right?). Lost it, now married and couldn't think of who it was.

Her feast is celebrated on the 4th of December. I'm thinking whiskey lunch in honor of 'ol Barb.

My grandma told me to never worship idols. I could make an exception if she blessed my powder.

I wouldn't care if she was Twiggy, in her prime. Standing on a DEAD Muslim, i'd marry her.

All I know is that I have a new holiday to celebrate. St. Barbara's day, the best day of the year that you won't remember!

Encinitas is about a five hour drive from Santa Barbara.
