Field Pea Salad and Jesus

Today, I took my bipolar brother to my other non bipolar brother's restaurant. They're closed on Sunday. The idea was that we'd have the place all to ourselves. Over delicious field pea and fresh tomato salad, we carefully explained that people who truly believe that you're the second coming of Christ don't generally take out a restraining order to keep you away (with the possible exceptions being maybe a Hindu or a Buddhist or persons of the Jewish faith). I believe we made some in-roads but it's hard to know for certain. My bipolar brother has been known to nod knowingly, as he secretly wonders if Tom Cruise will abandon L. Ron Hubbard and follow him instead. Only time will tell, I suppose.
