Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
11/23/2011 11:02am. This morning Father Mike had a change to chat with Gloria, “Binh”, “Minh”, Maw, Paw and moi, except the florist and Carlos, whom I had to hug to calm him down after he got pissed off at us for talking too much. We learned that some parish with more/less parishioner contribute/donate less/more, with out local parish paying around 19%, which is slightly medium-high. He exited by offering us a deep bow (Asian style) but mostly towards moi. I mumbled aloud a “deep bow”.
11/23/2011 10:00am. While waiting in line at Safeways with our box of one dozen donuts (at two for one dollar at club price), we overheard a middle-aged man talking to his mother over the cellphone. “Hi Momma! I love you! I am here eating a free sandwich.” He made kissing sounds over the cellphone. Maw looked at me with slightly tearful and red eyes because her own son wouldn’t do the same this season. He actually bought $1.49 sandwich and a plastic bottle of flavored milk.
11/23/2011 09:31am. At 8:44am and after this morning’s mass, I saw an Asian guy get into his red sedan parked in front of his house. Again, this is one of many instance in which spooks would time their presence upon my arrival.
