Musings of a Catholic Convert

Let me tell you something, brother. 

Friday was a great night of fellowship with my brother papists.  Anytime a bunch of Catholic guys can get together for carnivorous eating, card playing, and general "guy talk" it's gonna be a fun night.  But throw in the fact that we are all hardcore papists and you get a totally awesome night.  I feel so blessed to have friends who are not just Catholic in name, but who really live the Faith with gusto.  It is so natural to be talking about the Saint Louis Cardinals one minute, and His Eminence Christoph Cardinal Schönborn the next. 

Let me tell you something else.  We are a bunch of healthy carnivores too.  Big D grilled up some fabulous food for us.  Delish!   

I've been on vacation all week.  Did you notice?  Did any of you bother to write me out of concern for my absence?  

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

I'm just messing with ya.  Vacation has been enjoyable.  The only downside is the long drive.  Oh, we went to San Antonio, Tejas.  Loads of things to do down there.  Maybe - if you're very good - I'll post some pictures later.

Okay, I'm going to bed.  All this driving has drained me.  I just wanted to put to rest all those horrible email forwards about my demise.
