I’m pleased to report that Your Humble Blogger survived Theology on Tap tonight. It was my first attempt at something like this — and my first attempt at delivering any kind of presentation longer than, say, 15 minutes.

The good news: Nobody threw anything. Nobody walked out. Nobody fell asleep. People asked a lot of great questions. The crowd was small but friendly. I was impressed, and inspired, by the faith-filled spirituality among the young people who were there. It gave me hope.

The bad news: I didn’t get a chance to try the pub’s famous hamburger. Maybe next time.

And if you’re wondering: no, we’re not separated at birth. Guys who live in Queens just naturally look that way.
