I like my water room temperature, too!
As do most Europeans. You can't find a cold glass/bottle/whatever of water (or any other beverage that's supposed to be cold) to save your life. My family in Italy and France insist it's not healthy. Oh, and forget about asking for ice in a drink; you'd be more likely to get a 22K swizzle stick.
Am back from the schmutzing. My old parish is close to my office, and there's a new pastor who apparently is a speed demon. Normal holy day Mass can take an hour or so, and we were done in 45 minutes. Poor Padre Tomassi appears to suffer from Parkinson's and it looked like he has difficulty getting through the service.
Edit: I type too slow. Yay for msbelle and mac and good times!
I just saw a state farm commercial where some one drove into a house. I just realized that that would be difficult to do at my house. if you didn't use the driveway you would hit a tree. if you used the driveway - you'd hit the cars. if there were no cars, you would have to steer to hit anything other than the garage. which would be bad -- but we have plans for that part of the house anyway. So one less worry for me.
ETA: yes I just woke up from a nap
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Katie M!
Perqs? What are those?(I work for the government, and not at the level where perqs exist)
Yay for mac & mommabelle!
I live within stone's throw of Sts. Peter & Paul, so today is all about the elderly Italians with smudges on their foreheads.
If someone wants to drive into my house, I suggest they pick a vehicle that has treads, and preferably a 120mm cannon to soften it up first. A 30 inch trunk oak tree bounced off it when knocked over by 100mph straightline winds; I think the sides facing the roads would stop a semi before it made it all the way in.
Sts. Peter & Paul,
Where Marilyn and Joe got married!
(I loved that church.)
I read that wrong - Joe DiMaggio and his first wife were married there. READ AIMEE.
I love that church too! I was incredibly disappointed that I wasn't able to go inside the last time I was in SF. Just didn't have the time.
(My God, was the last time really in 2000? Seven frakking years?)

Clearly, you need to come visit. Now.

Hell yes. I want to make trouble.
