Yeah, well, it really wasn't all that bad until I got on the (express) train home and discovered my wallet was missing. Now, a few hours and a lot of backtracking later, I've recovered it with all contents intact, so I should be counting my blessings. I guess the masterful post I was rushing home to put up will just have to wait for next week. Or whenever.
In the meantime, go read this really interesting account by Ocean Guy of his evening with Paula Fredriksen and some of his own commentary on the 'Passion' controversy.
Shabbat Shalom.
