Sunday Best

Specific activities work best on certain days. Sundays are ideal for afternoon screenings of classic western movies. The ideal snack food for a Sunday is chips and salsa. That is a combination that will never wear out its welcome. Returning to this ritual, after a period without, brings mind to the special link between these elements. It's like hearing a favorite song on the radio after years of having forgotten about it. A Sunday with this on the schedule gives hope and courage to get through the most awful part of the day, church.

Salsa should be hot enough to make your nose run. In other words, burn as hot as the hell that's waiting for you for looking forward to this more than church.





Clint Eastwood is the cowboy you should want to be; strong, stoic, fast on the draw, one step ahead of his enemies, and sounds ridiculous but the ability to stare down a rattle snake.

This is potentially a much deeper subject than just a movie on Sunday. The day does stand out because of culture and religion as a day that naturally has a different flow to it. It may be that embedded in the laws of the universe certain activities work better on different days of the week. I'm anxious to discover what other day/activity combinations are out there.

  1. I could always stomach two Westerns: "Rio Bravo" and "The Cowboys." It always seemed like John Wayne would give you a chance no matter who you were, but I'm certain that Clint Eastwood would sooner shoot me than have to look at me - like some of my old gym coaches. Not very approachable, and I squirm out of the room.
