Neteroneous called me Thursday night to tell me he was in the area (in fact he had never been east of Arizona till this past week) so since I had Friday off we spent the day whizzing around DC, trying to get in some of the sights. Mostly I just got us lost. Ah, tradition. We went to a lecture @ CUA given by Alistair McIntyre (now that's a name!) and when the lecture ended, out flooded TAC grads! Everywhere! Jamie Spiering, Vic Vincent, Pat Bissex, Wink! Neteroneous & Bissex were getting into a critique of the various Thomists here and I, impatient to get to the Dubliner and settle into a tall foamy beer, picked up on pieces of the conversation and said, somewhat sarcastically, "I didn't even know there were different schools of Thomistic interpretation." Pat looked a little at a loss for words, and Neteroneous looked at me mischeviously and said, "That's because they only teach you one kind at TAC." Hmm.... sheltered at TAC from... other Thomists...

I don't know all those guys you were mentioning, but I've been to the Dubliner. Great place! We met Ray Flynne's son there (at the time his dad was the Ambassador to the Vatican). I had to drag the hubby out and put us in a cab and as he was a little inebriated (to say the least), he tried to tip the cabbie a $100. I politely retrieved it and put my sweet hubby into his bed. The next morning was our planned outing to the FBI. He rejected any notion of moving out of bed, throwing a pillow over his head and we went without him. It was a good thing he didn't go because the gunfire would have been a killer. Kitty
That's too funny!
P.S.- your phone officially sucks ass. I really did try to call you back, maybe 4 times that evening. And last night too.
Cute story, KM! I also was drawn to the Dubliner b/c I heard that a scene in Patriot Games was shot there. I couldn't tell, but i was surprised by how small it is. thanks for your comments- I appreciate them all.
you're denying different sects of thomism because you're a closet laval thomist. if you pick up history of political philosophy by strauss and read the part about St. thomas, you'll turn into a one of us.... a straussian thomist.
