For the holidays, those that don't have a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special, here's the transcript.

 

I guess it's not too surprising that I'm a month behind on recapping my life.  On Friday my parents, grandparents, and I went to Christmas Eve mass at Our Lady of the Valley.  We ran into Father Milt as he was leaving from presiding over the previous mass.  Father Ciprian gave a very scholarly homily, leaving him totally out of touch with a large part of the congregation which started talking amongst each other, shifting in their seats, et cetera. 

 

Afterwards my grandparents hosted a party where we exchanged gifts, had various goodies my grandmother prepared, and otherwise enjoyed each other's company.  The next day my parents hosted a dinner out at their place with the same cast of characters plus Jacob.  All in all a good holiday with family.

 

Today Rudy, Wayne, and I went hiking the 306 loop at Shaw Butte.  Afterwards we ate lunch at La Parrilla Suiza #4.  It was really good Mexican-style food.  After we parted company I went to mass where Father Milt gave a homily comparing the dreams of Joseph which led him to name his son and move his family to the dreams all parents have which lead them to the important family effecting decisions they must make. 

 

Anyway, I'm tired out.  Have a good night everyone!
