80's Music

I'm trying to find the name of a song which contains the lines:

Check check
Double-check
Check Check
Reject

Probably 80's, probably pretty up-tempo.

Anyway, in searching for that, I found this site which I may someday use to satisfy my deep craving for more 80's pop. I'm just saying, wife, that if someone wanted to give me a birthday present, I wouldn't mind.

Also, on the plane there was a "punk" channel, with a song by The Church (I liked it) several Joe Strummer songs (in memoriam, I guess). That tells you something about Air Canada -- Joe dies in December 2002, and there's a tribute to his music on the Air Canada flying muzak by April 2003. I'm not sure if that's too soon or too late, but somehow it's connected in my mind with Air Canada's bankruptcy.

Return and Live!

What sort of a Catholic doesn't go to confession for ten years?

The kind of Catholic I was until about an hour ago.

It feels good. I should remember to re-read The Screwtape Letters when I get home so I have a context for it.

"Return and live!" by the way, is the last sentence of Ezekiel 18.

Progress? So things are maybe already getting better.
