Well, we had a good day today. Despite the rough start, we left on time, picked up Blake, and rendezvoused with Tod'drea at the restaurant. I really like that place, the food has been excellent every single time. Then we headed to see The Golden Compass. Blake and I had already seen it, but we still enjoyed it. I think everyone else did, too ( Read more... )

Man, this is why I love Christmas. I get up at a time I NEVER would voluntarily to try to get my room clean (since I've tried to be polite and be available to socialize with Uncle G and the time I haven't has been cooking and cleaning for Mom [none of which she seems to have done by herself]).

That' ( Read more... )

This week, though, we talked on Friday for a long time. We talked about lots of things, but one of the things that struck me funny was when we started talking about Christmas Eve dinner. She ( Read more... )

So, St. Patrick's is Anglican. Am I alone in thinking that's REALLY WEIRD? St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland is not a Catholic cathedral. To make up for it, I actually pulled a double-genuflect during some of the prayers. I stopped, though, because I managed to sit in the chair section instead of the pew section and my ailing left leg ( Read more... )
