Fitting In

I’m jiggy with Latin chanting and Communion rituals. I feel like I belong when I participate in a Catholic mass - no matter the state, language or country. So, Sunday mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was another initiation for me into the city of Sacramento.

Fierce Bodyguards and Free Hugs

Last weekend, I dived into a Kill Bill Party dressed as Oren’s bodyguard, Gogo. I know I don’t have long hair, white tube socks and a metal ball hanging from a wicked chain. However, I had a blazer, a kilt skirt and an authentic Catholic school white button shirt. I figured I could pass for [...]

 

Hello Weekend

5 more shows and then Mark comes home.
It’s easier to think of his business trip in those terms. I think two weeks feels like a lifetime.
I’m happy this week is over.
Rough patches over sleep and work nearly drove me bonkers the other day. I even tried turning to religion. This week, I learned that it’s [...]

I remember how my biology teacher at a Catholic high school kicked off her section on evolution. She started with a disclaimer of sorts. She said she understood that she was teaching something that [...]

 

How did the Belief-O-Matic do?

Mark sent me this quiz: The Belief-O-Matic. Some of it I agree with and some of it I don’t. In any event, it’s a quiz that will make you think. How do you think you will do?

Recovering from Bay Area Road Trip…

It’s 1pm and I’m still in my DJ’s - I think I’ve hit a new all-time-low for being an un-employed slob. Wow. Typically, I’m up around 7 - my bladder is my alarm clock…then I’m skimming through Vogue or a book, while propped up on Mark, still sleeping. Then - by around 8:30 or so [...]

 

“You can’t spawn downstream kids, only upstream - get with the program!”

I’m heading up to the bay area next week….trying to enjoy all the free time I have on my hands.

[From the Breakers to Bay Salmon Run site] I get sentimental over the little things. I know folks who have run in the Bay to Breakers race up north…and reading about the exploits of the [...]

 

“Convert to Islam! Repent later!”

That wise phrase was uttered by a Catholic bishop as the Muslim army is on the brink of storming the Walls of Jerusalem…..
We saw Kingdom of Heaven last night with my bro. He’s back in town - yeah!
