what kind of house of worship operates in a mini mall  maybe operates is too  Wha   too mundane worship ought to be sanguine optimisticpositive however its root is Latin sanguis blood bloody bloodthirsty  he couldnt think of a damn thing more bloodthirsty than church religion

                                              what kind of church operates in a mini mall between a hardware store and a donut shop on the corner is a House of Pancakes

always tickled to find humour be it black he flipped a coin Sunday mornings before kickoff to see if he was going to attend worship or stop and have pancakes or waffles or sunnysideup eggs  loose  combating the annoyednot understanding look he got in return he told the waitress just to be sure they jiggled when she walked

   Sandy Gawd bless her eggs jiggledshe jiggled it was divine to witness her crossing the diningroom with his order

she also remembered he liked Tabascoliked his toast drycoffee black he didnt have to ask

                                                                                                she was a real peach

didnt make them many like her

how many times did the coin -- a silver dollar his grandfather gave him when he was a boyalways carried it with him made him feel close to the old man he died when he was eight he remembered him as the maniac who couldnt believe his younger brother and sister were riding bikes Santa brought them and he wasnt carried his bike in one arm him in the other parked his ass on the seat and ran him headlong at a huge catalpa on the parkway swervin round itlookin back he saw him in crazy pursuit he pedaled away like a madman leaving him in his dust -- how many times did the coin fail and send him to church  Like hed let a coin decidewhad it know

he didnt know its denomination certainly Christian likely fundamentalist demonation fund mental a cold day in Hellnot that he believed in it  Dantes Inferno cured him of that nonsense Nine circles of Hellhis favorite number was nine fat chance there was a Hell

he tipped Sandy generously

                              leaving to go home for kickoff if he had a hat he would have doffed ithe didnt instead he flipped it off and its gaggle
