CURRENT MISSION My current mission is to get Couchsurfing.com to stop hounding me to provide a current mission. Am I alone in thinking I would prefer to surf the couches of the missionless rather than missionaries? I'm an atheist; I am not a missionary. ABOUT ME no, this is just one thing about me, part of my mission to get Couchsurfing to stop hounding me (see above). I'm working on a book that has a book within a book, Lotteryland. In this book the cynical, atheistical, homeless, Jewish narrator decides he must go to the Lubavitch in Stamford Hill for a loan to get back on his feet. This chapter is the single favourite chapter of everyone who has seen the book so far, Jewish and gentile alike. Look at it this way: if you were a member of the Lubavitch you might not find this funny, but then you wouldn't be using couchsurfing,com anyway, because you could surf a couch in any religious community anywhere (and you probably wouldn't want to go anywhere that didn't have such a community). If you're Jewish but not particularly relgious you can probably still surf a Jewish couch anywhere with a community -- but there's a fair chance you will have to spend time with people with a mission. Any other cynical atheists out there?
