Obit watch: April 22, 2012.

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

WCD being what it is, we are compelled to note the passing of Charles “Chuck” Colson, Watergate conspirator and Nixon’s “dirty tricks artist” (as described by the WP), who converted to Christianity and founded a prison ministry.

WP obit. NYT obit.

Crab cakes? Crab cakes! CRAB CAKES?!

From time to time, when I am out having breakfast (or brunch) with other people, I have jokingly threatened to order the Eggs Benedict Arnold. (This is one of the many reasons why you can’t take me anywhere.)

I have never actually done so. At least, not until today.

No kidding. Those are Eggs Benedict Arnold, an actual dish at Café Blue in Bee Cave. They were quite good. And, even better, they did not try to surrender my stomach to the British an hour later.

Thanks, Mom!

(And thanks to Lawrence and Borepatch for their kind wishes, too. By the way, Lawrence isn’t kidding about that “since God was a corporal” comment.)
