Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my cellphone over breakfast:
12/10/2011 09:36am. Paw was talking about a priest from his hometown in Tuy, Batangas, Philippines. Father De Leon was his name. Rumor has it that the priest was a pedophile. The boys he molested were too ashamed to tell of their tales. One classmate of Paw may have been molested by this priest. Even the Sacritas (the altar server boys) cannot complain. Two of Paw’s grand-uncles were alleged molested: Chu-Pabling and Chu-whoever. Overall, there were too many alleged gays in that town. But that was over fifty years ago. I do not know about now.
12/10/2011 09:26am. Maw was slicing yesterday’s small Fuji apples from “Binh” who had harvested from his backyard a while back. Most of these “bad apples” were still good. But they had bruises and dark holes from bugs that went through the skin of red, yellow and green. I joked that it was good to leave some “Vitamin P” for protein from the bugs. Later I told Paw a different joke about “Vitamin S” for smoke as told by Uncle Ver three years ago during a Christmas dinner at our home with his second wife, of course.
