Restaurant technology at the Dublin Pub
I think it's time to invent a new technology which allows the server to interface with our guests with the kitchen and with payment systems all without leaving the table. It needs to have the utility of a handheld micros, the price point, which is zero, of the square credit card swiper and the underlying bility of the POS system

31 keywords in Python 31 Kings in Joshua 31 stumps
When I started going to the Vineyard Darlene told me to read the book of Joshua. there're 31 Kings whom Joshua vanquishes in the book and I felt compelled to write down the name of every one.
I knew then that the number 31 was going to be significant and when I put the stumps around the cross in front of my church I counted them and there were 31.
The number keeps coming up. I'm reading a book about the programming language Python and one of the first things I learned was that there are 31 keywords in the Python language.

I want to go to the animal library and borrow a rhinoceros roo. A rhinoceros-roo stands on two legs pops up and down and has a pouch for its baby. Sophie says "where's the rhinoceros rude and daddy says it's right next to the Alligator-parakeet". They're really nice at the animal library to let you borrow whatever you want. Sometimes I borrow the tarantula but only if I have a terrarium at home, otherwise mommy gets mad.
The first time we borrowed a donkey from the animal library we never brought her back.
She did such a good job working on our cocoa bean plantation that we just didn't want to bring her home. And she loves to eat oats and hay in the barn and we knew she'd be lonely if she went back to the animal library.
Now that I've talked about my idea for the children's book I want to talk about what I dreamt about last night. I was sitting at a table having dinner with my parents and an older gentleman: whitehair, white beard who I knew as a friend of my parents and someone they respected. I also knew that this gentleman was a very strong Christian and wanted to stimulate conversation that question my parents assumptions about material reality. So I turned to him and said "hey Jim have you ever seen anyone raised from the dead"?
Without even pausing in his chewing and not even turning his head or looking for any of us he simply said "oh yeah".
I asked him who and he said said "old Marfa so-and-so's brother's wife". and still didn't stop eating to elaborate on anything. But when I looked at my parents they were clearly interested.
And of course if you can raise a human being from the dead you can raise a rhinoceros-roo from the dead.
