My daughter’s funny, touching, and confessional take on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Clearly my work here is finished.

I grew up in a parish named after St Alban without ever knowing his story.
Feast of St Alban, first martyr of Britain (3rd cen). He gave shelter to a fugitive priest who was being pursued by Roman soldiers. Moved by the faith of his guest, he exchanged clothes with the priest and was arrested in his place. He was flogged and beheaded.
