After looking up St. Lawrence martyr (There are three St. Lawrences) I
now fully appreciate your little joke.

The good news is that St. Lawrence martyr's feast day is August 10. We
could have a late barbecue at Pennsic!

For those of you who don't know the story of St. Lawrence martyr, he was
a deacon of the early church in charge of assisting the poor and needy.
When the greedy, pagan Prefect demanded the church's wealth Lawrence presented
the people to him saying, "This is the wealth of the church!". Needless to
say the Prefect was less than satisfied with this answer and demanded Lawrence
to be killed slowly and painfully. So he was placed on a grill over a slow
fire. Evidently Lawrence was so filled with holiness that he barely felt the
flames and even joked that one side was done so he needed to turn over.

Ah, those jolly men of old!

Yers,

Gunthar
