Random Thoughts

It is never a good idea to travel long distances on Easter Sunday.  You can't stop for food when nothing is open.  I've never been so glad to see home.

I went to an Easter Vigil at the Catholic Church down the street from our hotel on Saturday night.  I'm not Catholic, but nobody can put the meaning into Easter like the Catholics.  We began with a bonfire, had a candlelight procession, and the first half hour of the service was lit entirely by candles. 

The Msgr. at the church mentioned that he'd had a call on Saturday, asking about the Easter Vigil.  The caller wanted to know what time the service began.  "It begins at 8:30" he answered.
"How long does it run?"  the caller asked.
"It runs until it's done.  Usually, it's 2-1/2 to 3 hours long."
"Oh...." the caller replied.  "Do you have the phone number for the Methodist Church?"

Skyline Chili is really good.  It's even better on top of a Coney Dog on Opening Day for the Cincinnati Reds. 

People in Ohio don't have any idea what Old Bay Spice is....

There's no better way to get to know a group of people than to pull out a frisbee.

No matter where you go, most people are very nice people. 

Teenagers need to bottle that energy and enthusiasm!
