Jeff and I were walking around Midtown yesterday and passed by the recently renovated Manhattan branch of the Church of Scientology, which was having some kind of open house. Later on 42nd Street, we saw rows of tables (hawking Dianetics books) where Scientology volunteers were using E-Meters to give free “stress tests.” I joked with Jeff that I should sit down for one and ask them how many murdered alien ghosts I had floating around in my body.

Speaking of Scientology, the cast recording of the delightful A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant is now available.
