So I guess I'll be posting weekly. Or more. Or less. The week was pretty uneventful. I got some work done, and learned some law in the process. On Thursday I read an article by MSNBC's Jim Cramer and watched a video of Senator Tom Coburn and got pretty agitated about the state of our economy and the supposed solutions proposed by the powers-that-be. I haven't been that angry in a while at no one in particular. I have resolved to avoid such content in the future.
What sucked is that the week had been going pretty well. Monday a high school senior from St. Mary's in Natchitoches, Adam, spent the morning with me learning what I do. I also took him to visit other attorneys in town to learn about their jobs. It was a good time with a good kid who seemed genuinely interested. Dinner at Kayla's for AI Tuesday, adoration during the day on Wednesday, followed by a salad from Smokehouse, followed by pizza at Kayla's provided by Robert K., followed by another hour of adoration to fill in for Deacon Mike. Thursday, I woke up, cleaned the house so the appraiser didn't think I live in a pig sty, Adam came back and we went to court to watch civil court. Later in the morning, I met the appraiser at the house. All that while getting work done. Anyway, I decompressed Thursday night at Rob and Crys's, and got work finished Friday. Ready for court!
This weekend was great. Friday night I went to some a friend's house and hung out and ate BBQ shrimp. They talked me into avoiding yard work Saturday and going out to a shootout in the woods in Many. Basically, a bunch of guys get together and shoot skeet all day, and at night they eat marvelous food, drink beer and play cards. I skipped the shooting part and went straight to the card playing and beer drinking. I had a blast, didn't lose any money, and didn't get too drunk. I met a ton of folks, and heard a lot of stories.
Sunday, I woke up at 5:18 am CDT, had a cup of coffee, got online and found directions to Sacred Heart church in Pineville, and got a shower. I got on the road at 6:15 am. I finally got to Pineville a little later than I had hoped, got lost following the directions from the computer, and showed up a little late. Long story short, I got my 3d degree for the KC. It was a rewarding experience. I got back in Many at about 1:30 pm, just in time to go eat at the shootout. I played a couple hands of cards, then headed to the house. I got an hour of rest and got to visit with Buck, who was next door cleaning up the yard, before I headed to Mass in Zwolle at 5 pm. Fr. Williams and his 30 minute rambling homily was at least not boring, and he does celebrate a Mass in a very unique way. Not always good, but unique. Apparently Fr. Tim had surgery, so keep the good man in your prayers. Finally, Tippe and I went for a walk and visited with Ronnie, John and Susan, Kayla, Bob, Rouxby, John, Larry, Carolyn, Ted and Schottzie, DeDe, and Chuck and Linda. And it was beautiful evening.
