I am NEVER drinking expired juice again... some of the stuff I was drinking had its "best before" date in mid-April! However, I was cheered tonight to find that Dave TRIED to psych me out via FB status comment. "NOT AT SMALL GROUP TONIGHT, I SEE!" isn't going to do the trick... especially when you haven't been to church yourself in a couple of weeks! :P Now I'm just updating Chinese Eric on things via MSN since he's online for once.

Trivia fact for Saturday, May 29: What fruit - considered exotic in the 17th century - did King Charles II of England pose with in an official portrait? A pineapple. The portrait shows the king receiving a pineapple as a gift - a symbol of royal privilege because of its rarity at the time.
