June 15, 1987: Pet Shop Boys released the single ''It's a Sin''.
'When we brought out “It’s a Sin,” it was quite interesting, because people took it really seriously; the song was intended as a camp joke and it wasn’t something I consciously took very seriously. The local parish priest in Newcastle delivered a sermon on it, and reflected on how the Church changed from the promise of a ghastly hell to the message of love.'' - Neil Tennant
''I’ve become less religious as I’ve got older. Even when I wrote ''It’s a Sin'' part of me was probably still a Catholic. The thing that I always liked about Catholicism they got rid of! I liked the Latin and the incense and the sort of music and plainsong. When I was eight years old I could sing the Latin mass in plainsong because I was an altar boy.'' Neil Tennant

And heading out.
Our month long stay here in St Pete has come to an end. We are going to Pensacola for a few days to visit my big sister and Miguelito. Then on to Atlanta.
I’ve taken the decision not to trailer the scoot. I will ride it to Pensacola and then to Atlanta. My beautiful bride will drive my little black truck, The Dude, as a ‘chase’ vehicle.
We will have several planned stops to meet up, so I can get fuel. Once The Dude has been filled up, he could make both legs of the trip with fuel to spare. The scoot only has a 5.5 gal tank, and gets about 35 miles to the gallon. Also, I don’t like it to get much below 1/2 a tank, which is about 1 1/2 hours of riding any away.
We are going by the Prodigals new place so I can repair a counter top this morning. I couldn’t do it over the weekend because they’d just had their wood floors refinished. We couldn’t walk on them until today.
