I had taken all my mail and other work over to the rectory last night in anticipation of being “snowed in” for days. Well, there was nary a drop in our area. Athough I hear St. Mary’s and Calvert got a lot and of course, north to Philly, New York, and New England. But for us only wind! and a lot of wind! So I kept going back down into my blankets and stayed in bed till 10:30am.
I had the 11:30 and talked about St. John and then since the office was closed, I sat at my desk and tried to straighten it up. Then I saw Fr. Jim and asked what his plans for the evening were and he said, “None”. So I suggested we take in a movie and dinner.
We planned to leave at 5pm but some people came for a special Mass and we helped them set up and then we left. We went to the Majestic in Silver Spring, which is very nice and part of the redevelopment of downtown. We saw, The King’s Speech, which I recommend if you want an interesting story and great acting. Then we ate at the Austin Grill, nearby and I just got home and thought before I head over to the rectory, I’d drop a line. The Wind is still blowing strongly, can’t wait to get under the covers.
I heard The King’s Speech WAS a good movie. Have that on my must see list.
Now I’m heading to the winter wonderland of NJ….ugh!
