The Definition Of Self-Control:

Finding yourself at 3:00 A. M. in 10 m. p. h. traffic on the interstate beside the whacked out liberal editorial cartoonist from the local paper and NOT rolling down the car window and yelling invectives.

Sounds like every moment living in Montgomery County, Maryland. (If any readers live near Cabin John Mall they will know exactly what I am talking about)

Bagley? Mercy, you ARE strong...I'd have hucked a rock at him or something. Well, I'd have felt like it anyway.

Well, at three a.m. the guy probably would have just thought it was a bad dream.

I wanna know what everyone was doing out there at 3:00 am!

Are you sure it wasn't a divinely ordained penance for you?

Al makes a good point.

Ah, c'mon, Father. Who are you kidding? You probably just didn't roll down the window because it was too cold. :-D

Good on you Father!

Say Father, when I go to your blog, I now get a warning message: "To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame." and then it suggests opening in a new window. That works for me, but did you intend that? (I've never encountered this on any of the other blogs I visit). If so, no biggie, just thought you would like to know that this happens if you didn't intend it.

I just tried a couple browsers (Firefox, MSIE) and am not experiencing this.

I would love to know what all the traffic was doing there. The cops were escorting two trucks at 10 mph abreast down the freeway allowing no passing.

Don't think I was that heroic. a)I was tired due to the hour and just finishing a bout with food poisoning and as such the best invective would have been, "You s**k!" b)I didn't want to end up in a cartoon.

Scott--Nope, I have added no new security features.
