Food and Miscellany Monday

Happy Sweet 16th to my eldest daughter, Abbie. If the rest of my daughters come out as well as she has, I'll be a lucky, lucky man. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* [Burger King is foraying into pizza](http://www.theatlanticwire.com/opinions/view/opinion/Burger-Kings-Pizza-Burger-Debuts-4779?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Sounds good, but 20 years too late. Back in high school, I used to eat two Whoppers in one sitting. Those days are gone . . . unless I've been drinking. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* My son, Jack (14), has jumped into digital movie-making with both feet. He worked odd jobs for months, saved his allowance, and bought a slick laptop and good editing software. [Here's one of his first creations](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZSTcYEvWnA&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). The guy who does all the talking is his cousin (and my godson). I wish the imagery weren't so, ummm, colorful and I find some of the language objectionable, but it's a good spoof on professional wrestling. Please venture over and take a look. It's probably worth recommending to your teenage acquaintances. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Pretty wild: [All the soft drinks in the world, by market share, in chart form](https://www.msu.edu/~howardp/softdrinkszoom.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Spirituality for the MTV generation: *The Way, the Furrow, the Forge*: [three books, one easy-to-hold volume, for only $17.95](http://www.scepterpublishers.org/product/index.php?FULL=135&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I'd never read Escriva, but [Francis Fernandez](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0906138191?ie=UTF8&tag=thedailyeudem-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0906138191&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

cites him frequently, so I decided to give him a shot. So far, it's been great reading. The passages are all nuggets: thousands of passages, ranging in length from one line to half a page. Opus Dei has always made me a bit uncomfortable, especially after [that spy dude](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FHanssen?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), but Escriva is definitely worth reading. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Got 3.5 seconds to kill? Try saying the Jesus Prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner"). If you have an entire ten seconds to kill, say it three times. Salinger made the prayer somewhat popular in *Franny and Zooey*, but I wouldn't recommend JD as a spiritual guide. If you want to know more about the prayer, check out the books pictured below. Note: I don't recommend Lev Gillet's *On the Invocation of the Name of Jesus*. I liked his book *The Jesus Prayer* so much, I ordered it, but, although I don't remember details, I put it down, concluding that it was a below-par book meant to capitalize on the popularity of the first rather than offer much sustenance. My assessment is probably harsh and incorrect (for all I know, Gillet wrote *Invocation* first), but that's what I remember thinking years ago.
