The Heebie Jeebies

On my flight from Chicago to Phoenix last Wednesday, I sat next to an early-twentysomething couple who spoke to each other in a language which I tentatively guessed was Italian. Which turned out to be right (I asked the guy at the end of the flight). The guy was an American from Chicago, but he and his wife now live outside of Milan, and she's Italian. She read an English magazine during the flight, and he helped her with some words.

At one point she stopped reading, turned to him, held up the magazine while pointing to a paragraph of text, and asked, "What does 'the heebee-jeebies' mean?" He had an immediate response in Italian. I couldn't come up with a response in English. The willies? Something that freaks you out?

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
