“The more I study the history of the Orthodox Church in this country, the more I am convinced that our work here is God's work; that God himself is helping us; that when it seems as though everything we do is ready to fail, …on the contrary, it not only does not die, but grows in new strength and brilliance.” [said just before leaving the United States for Russia]
Saint Tikhon, enlightener of America

Everyone has their little eccentricities. Mine is ice in soda. Jules doesn’t dig on swine. I don’t dig on watered-down Coke. Ice cubes are time-release water capsules. You wouldn’t walk over to the tap and put some water in your drink, would you? Well, maybe you would; that’s another kind of eccentricity. Anyway, I wouldn’t, unless I was cutting a good bourbon, and only then when I’m in a certain mood.

People sometimes say, “Oh, but it’s warm,” as if this was supposed to make me want ice. No; that makes me want it less. Heat, we learned in physical science class, just speeds up the clock on the time-release water capsules.

So, when I go to a fast-food joint and ask for a “Coke, no ice,” it strikes me as a fairly simple request. I realize that the monkeys who take my orders must not get that one very often, but why should I return to an establishment if they cannot even get that right? Some people are allergic to tomatoes; are you going to screw that up, too?
