The Envirothon get-together was fun. Frank did well on his presentation about the Neuse River Basin. There was to be a moms’ sit-around in the evening after the high-school meeting, but I have the Guadalupe Novena with my congregation every night through the 10th.

I don’t entirely fit in with some of the group right now, because I’m not hysterical about the election or super upset that stores want me to wear a mask. The former is, “Yeah, whatever,” and the latter is a minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe the fact that I’m at least ten years older than most of them has something to do with it. I’ve seen hysterical flusters come and go and come and go, and it will all be fine, eventually, as long as there’s hot coffee and Naptime with Cats.

Good for Frank!

How long is the Novena each night? It’s been a long time since I’ve even heard the word, much less been witness to any. We lived 20 miles from the nearest Catholic church, so my mother couldn’t participate in them. She didn’t drive, either, but had we lived closer, I’m sure she would have found a way to attend.

Yeah, funny about the election and conservatives. We just go about the business of setting things right, quietly, in the background, and will also eat popcorn while the libs froth at the mouth. As for the masks, it will be over soon, but you’re right, they’re just a minor nuisance. I wear one when I have to, but take it off as soon as I step outside.

Age has a lot to do with perspective. As does intelligence. Hysteria is funny in the right circumstances. ;o]
