Week Past 02/04-02/10/08
Wed 02/06 is Ash Wednesday. Start of Lent. There's a mass scheduled in our church at 2:00 pm. I was wondering why the odd hour. It was my day off so I was able to go. Turned out the kids studying in the church's school are attending the mass. And some of them were assigned to put the ash sign of the cross on our foreheads. I was looking for W as she mentioned she'll drop by from work. I didn't see her on my way out. At home she said she saw me. She thought that I also saw her because I looked at her direction but did not acknowledge her. I said I just did a scan on the churchgoers. I guess that's what you call looking but not seeing.
Fri 02/08 W called the office to tell me she got a call from Manila informing her that my sister finally gave birth to a baby boy. Their fourth child. All of them boys. She just need another one to complete a basketball team. Congratulations. She really wanted a girl. But still grateful that the baby is normal and healthy.
The weather? Still in the negative temps. Why oh why?? The weatherman said we'll still be seeing that "Minnesota hunch" for quite a while. Describing how people hunched with their coats to protect themselves from the biting wind and cold.
