I don’t remember much about it other than being underwhelmed by it. I know the story from the Bible. I think what annoys me is that too much emphasis is placed on the girl. Remember the girl (unnamed in the account) went to consult with her mother, Herodias, before making her request to Herod; she told her what to ask for. <br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-19593716495091303232010-05-22T02:20:42.544+01:002010-05-22T02:20:42.544+01:00Straight or modified, it read as an interesting ex...Straight or modified, it read as an interesting experience!
