Ah, well that would be the problem, wouldn't it? The HOA strictly forbids ritual animal sacrifice, which is the closest thing we non-believing heathen have to prayer.

Good thoughts all the way around, Coach. So another imponderable that I can't get my head around -- how do I (a) actively listen, "hear," and validate while simultaneously (b) not be paying attention / focusing on / etc.?
