Osmosis

A friend whom I've known for only a year or so said this to me:

"How do you know so much about the Bible? Is it because your husband was a minister?"

Yes,

- Like Diana Krall does jazz because she's married to that other Elvis.

- Like Christo drapes that silk cloth all over the world because he's married to Jeanne-Claude.

- Like Joan Didion writes pretty well because she's the widow of John Gregory Dunn.

- Like Hillary knows the law because Bill's a lawyer.

I wonder if I could finagle a flirtation with Stephen Hawking?
