I'm on vacation this week, having a lovely time visiting friends and family in Tucson and Phoenix. Yesterday Tucson's first In-N-Out Burger opened, and it was a zoo! I slipped in just before closing to get a 3x3. Yummmm!

Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! The Supreme Court has upheld the ban on partial-birth abortion! Maybe there is hope for our country after all.

Phew! I'm still trying to get my taxes done! Fortunately, the IRS says I have until April 17 this year!

This week I went on a work visit to the Microsoft campus in Redmond. It's an interesting place. Yes, they do get free drinks.... soda, milk, coffee, espresso, etc. That's pretty cool. And yes, everyone's in an office, not a cube. And the cafeteria looked nicer than ours at Intel. Still... not sure I'd want to work there. But fun to visit!

Happy Holy Thursday! We sang for 6:30 p.m. Mass tonight... this is such a good group, they are a lot of fun to sing with and it's amazing how well they/we watch and are sensitive sometimes. I'm still homesick for Tucson though, and remembering and imagining what it was like tonight back at SSPP... *sigh*
