First day of Advent and I made it to church. I always sit in the front few pews and from time-to-time I compare my Irish priest from back home and his church with my current church. I miss Latin mass (or having parts of mass said in Latin). I miss the accent because it was nice to listen to him talk. However, my current priest says mass in 45 minutes and his homily he always brings something current into it, which somehow ties into the readings. Like today he talked about that rock-climbing movie, 104 or something Hours. After church, my friend and I went to the Pour House for some brunch. I've been wanting to go for their pumpkin pie pancakes and was so satisfied after ordering them with a scoop of ice cream. I nearly forgot to take a picture, but managed to before I demolished the rest of my plate. To work off what we ate, we walked around the city for a while. A cold day, about 40 degrees, but wore my new extra warm gloves (my finger tips didn't get cold!!), my new scarf and a coat. It's wintertime for sure. Kids were ice-skating on Frog Pond, something I cannot wait to do this year since I didn't go last year. It was a nice afternoon to spend with a friend and catch up.
