Yeah, me and dragons ...

We’re doing fine. It’s Pat’s birthday (8), DP is bringing home pizza. Spanish Choir Blitz going on, but I *think* we’re off the 27th, unless the alternates cancel again.

I wrote a Sequence for Christmas Mass, and my Mexican lady verified that I hadn’t said anything rude or idiotic. There’s a ton of food here!

Hey! Hey lady, do you mind? We're trying to chew the fat about lizards and booze and stuff, and it's all Christmas this, baking that with you. For pete's sake this isn't the Food Network here!

Merry Christmas! :)

It's always a good idea to check any efforts in the second language area.

My daughter asked a Japanese-speaking friend what her (my daughter's) anime T-shirt said. The answer: "No Boys Allowed! This is the girls' bathroom! So get out!"

It could have been much, much worse of course. As you can see from a glance at engrish.com.

We sang for the Greek Orthodox cathedral when the Patriarch of Constantinople stopped by on his Apostolic Visitation, and they liked us so much they asked us back. This time we were the only guest choir (last time there were 3), so our choir director went absolutely wild with medieval and Renaissance motets of great rarity (and difficulty!) including the DuFay "Conditor Alme Siderum" with a garnish of handbells (courtesy of yours truly and husband who are handbell choir members also). They LOVED it! Now they're coming to our parish in April. Just doing our bit for reunion of East and West . . . . .
