THURSDAY
> I had lunch today with someone who had never been in La Perla Tapatia -- the Mexican grocery store we frequent for the burrito bar in the back. Looking out over the store as we waited, that person's comment was, "I suppose bimbo has a different connotation in Spanish than English?"

Sí­. Now, my Spanish is pretty sad but I do get bimbo. And that's probably one of the basic things that all of us gringos should know -- even if you don't frequent Mexican grocery stores. Bimbo is the name of a mega Mexican-based bread conglomerate Grupo Bimbo. And you'll see the name all over in the grocery store. Yes, it's funny to English speakers -- but the bimbos are laughing all the way to the bank.

> Rockbridge University -- interesting online seminary built on the "purpose-driven" model. By far, though, my favorite online seminary these days is South African Theological Seminary -- fully accredited, reasonably priced, quality faculty, student-friendly from all reports, appropriate rigor, and for Americans the advantage of a cross-cultural perspective.
