Awesomeversary!

On Oct. 2, 2006, Fr. Pat was 40 years a priest. There were 6 parties for him over the weekend. He is a party animal.

I was chosen (siezed?) to be his Designated Driver for Saturday. I drove him from place to place. His brother was in the car too, together with his brother's CoughNaggingCough wife.

I think that if all of the people who are grateful to Fr. Pat for his influence in their lives were put together in a room, they wouldn't fit. People would have to hang from chandeliers and ceiling fans, and there must be some sort of safety violation involved there.

At any rate, I think he's a capital fellow. Next time your raise your glass to toast someone, let it be him. Be sure to drink to his health.

P.S. I had a dream last night that Sean or Peters and I were trying to sneak through Domino's property. Sean / Peters took the smart route and went through the pasture with the horses. I chose the one with the dobermann's and was attacked for about 20 minutes. I finally escaped by climbing 4-ft monkey bars and hanging there. It didn't work - they were biting my bum. Then Sean ran into barbed wire and died. I made that last sentence up. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
