They don't use the "A" word, but trust me, she threw out the anchor.<BR/><BR/>I forget that people almost always think she was a man--Julian. Speaking of which, if I knew how to add a link in a comment bar, I would link you to one of my very all-time favorite actors: Julian Sands.

These people used to wall themselves off--COMPLETELY--alongside a church and they depended on the kindness of others to even bring them food because they could not leave. Anchored, you know.

Which is why I always thought she was a guy. Well, that and the whole "Julian" thing. I mean, how many Saints are women? Are there any? I guess there's a St. Anne. Right? I dunno. I wasn't raised Catholic. In fact, I was raised in a religion that taught us that Catholics would one day hunt us down and imprison us for worshiping on the true Sabbath. ^_^Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869574150060699562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664692.post-87090316492718099722007-07-06T17:23:00.000-04:002007-07-06T17:23:00.000-04:00One of my favorite sayings which has, by the way, ...One of my favorite sayings which has, by the way, appeared at Joe's place as well as mine.
