Hustlers

Last Sunday after church, I saw one of the boys from my 1st-2nd grade Sunday School class. I said to him "What's up hustler?" His reply was full of 6 year-old sincerity: "I don't really know what hustler means."

Speaking of hustlers, I've talked to some of you about how much I love "The Wire." It is a breathtaking epic of the American city and its institutions. The characters are fascinatingly flawed and the storylines are uncompromisingly complex. It is a ruthlessly grim picture of urban life, but somehow it is unfailingly entertaining. More on why I love this show later.
