In which I re-post a post I’d posted a week too early last week.

This weekend, I’m going to a Benedictine nunnery in Kansas with Tahmi, where we will go to chapel four times a day, eat cafeteria food with nuns, drink wine, sing the rosary, stay in giant old bedrooms in an historical building, browse the excellent library, gaze at icons, and gossip.

It’ll be fabulous. (Not fabulous like they mean it in Manhattan, but fabulous like you mean it when you live in rural Iowa and are going to Kansas for the weekend.) Here’s hoping for creamed eggs on toast for breakfast Saturday!

Tahmi’s picking me up at ten tomorrow morning.

P.S. Don’t tell anybody I’m Hindu. I take communion while I’m there but heathens aren’t supposed to do that, you know.

    Atchison! Wow, that’s so “metropolitan” part of Kansas:shock: People won’t notice you are a heathen unless you act weird during the communion like sticking your tongue out too much. 🙂 You know you can stop by Manhattan, Kansas but it will be totally different… I hope you have a great trip! and

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUSH!
