"Episcopalian"? We would say as kids those Episcopalians pee in their pants and hide in the basement avoiding the sun. They always seemed to be wearing purple.
"Jesus takes up his cross." Oh, man... memories... My best friend, Mark, got religion bad when he was 17. He had a cross with a big wheel on the bottom of it. Mark dragged that cross on his shoulder in a charity walk outside of Lincoln on a gravel road.
I remember a band playing "Crossroads" by Cream in a barnyard on the route to entertain the walkers for charity.
Mark lasted about 1 mile before he threw the cross down and realized he'd made a mistake.
All of us Catholic kids talked about politics (Vietnam War is shit), religion (Catholic Religion is shit), and sex (we'd sure like to find some), all the time. Gay priests, sadistic nuns, fat politicians, and those sexy girls wearing short skirts and V-neck sweaters. That's all we talked about.
I enjoyed the interview. Thank you!
Thank you, Brian, for a great conversation! I enjoyed your snark, your perspective, and your challenging questions.

Domenic, you are an Italian from New Jersey. Did you know or hear of Joey Filiberto Sanitation up by Chester, NJ?
I live in South Jersey (below Philadelphia) and am not actually from here. I enjoyed your trash-hauling story, though :-)
Thanks, Domenic. I've been to Cape May in South Jersey. I liked that town.

Must have been Easter...

I'm not sure what happened to that cross.
