Long and busy day.. I note that while yesterday was all saints day, today is all souls day. The day that we celibrate and remember all of our departed loved ones.. It was only fitting that when we stopped ofr a beer and music on the way home tonight that I had a pint of ‘Dead Guy Ale’ .

this one’s for you Sam.. Missing you my boy..

Thursday night – All saints day

Happy all saints day…you know , I sometimes wish that I was in a religion that had saints.. Saints are a pretty cool bunch. People who are remembered for what they did.. and what they believed. I l especially like the idea of patron saints.  I found this list on Wikipedia..

I like the fact that the same guy, St. Amand,  takes care of brewers and boyscouts.  .. and that St. Barbara takes care of firework makers and mathematicians (now that would be a cool party) ..Hey wait, St. Elmo has pyrotechnicians.. does that mean firebugs have a choice between him and St. Barbara.. I guess they go with Barbara if they’re good at math.   And.. how how did St. Dismas end up protecting thieves ?   And Gan Bing.. how did he end up with the eunuchs… (or do we want to know ? )

As an engineer I have my choice of St. Patrick (no snakes.. but carried a slide rule ? ) Eligius or Ferdinand III. How does one go about choosing ?

I wonder if modern professions will get their own patron saints ? Who will become the patron saint of social networkers and bloggers ? What about the patron saint of video game designers ?   I understand that canonization takes time. so  I think we should begin lobbying for them now,
