Last night, my first cousin and I used Skype. This would be the first time I used the software AND my HP webcam, which is auto-focus. As you can see, I had a difficult time navigating the features and attempting to call out.

20111213-Wise Words
At 02:00am, I awoke to use the toilet. Maw was also wide awake. I heard her turn on the radio with the crunchy sounds of the volume on/off dial. She then came into my room and shared the following thoughts:
If someone annoys you, stay away from that person. When you turn away, don’t feel bad. Think positive.
If you have problem in life, if you really, truly love the ones on something, tell them.
If someone doesn’t get it, stay away from Mercedes, for example.
But it does not mean to ignore them completely. Do not show you negative face.
[If you tell an old man who needs help, he might resent being a bad boy.]
In his mind he is doing alot in life. But as a husband, it ends up he is NOT doing alot.
Don’t talk about money. Use it the way you want it for yourself and you know your limit.
That is your lucky day when someone comes your way.
You did your best and accomplish something in life.
I know what people needs. Don’t absorb it. But don’t take it so seriously

Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
12/12/2011 11:55am. My car’s dashboard 72,201 (odometer) and 912.2 (speedometer) at 11:54am.
12/12/2011 08:40am. My car’s dashboard 72,177 (odometer) and 888.4 (speedometer).
12/12/2011 10:43am. We were backing out to attend to yet another one of our daily errands when I saw a bunch of big, gray birds fly over head in a western direction.
12/12/2011 09:19am. While sitting at Carrow’s for breakfast, I started to rant about how the twit mistreated the boy. “I’m not going to sit there!” She did that twice to my recollection. For example, since that twit is the shortest to the four of us, she dared to allow the TALL boy to sit on the aisle side of a four-seated table. In another situation, she didn’t want to sit in the middle of the back seat to the MB E430. But Maw tried to calm me down. But we are fed up with her and my grudge against the twit would NEVER go away until the hen-pecked boy finds a suitable mate who doesn’t deceive him so badly. What are guys so stupid?

Per deleted comment on 20111212 at 20:58:26 PM PST. What is your problem Flynn? Aren’t you honored that insane people come to you and your family to vent their frustrations with their sorry live? If you don’t want to bear the karma of others, just let the Lord take away your sins, too! You don’t need to be a Filipino who is predujice with other Filipinos!
Can’t you get you get along “normally” with people? What did your mother tell you? Don’t let it bother you! If she has learned to overcome the parasites in her lives, you too can learn to relax and don’t take things personally! Sheesh!

Per deleted comment on 20111211 at 13:24:49 PM PST. It so happens that Visayans are fighters who are bossy pests and envious show-offs. Here are three fine examples of known Visayans who “win their fights” by getting other people involved: the Chingster wanted Paw to beat up her husbands second wife; LoLita (the divorced nutter living next door to us) wanted Maw to tell the Mexican neighbors living behind her to clean their still filthy backyard; and “Binh” complained two days ago about how he wasn’t recognized as the pioneer of the Sacristas in our local parish. If he REALLY wanted it, he should have fought for the correction prior to publication of the “souvenir book” instead of whining like a “girly man” to us. I don’t know what’s he trying to prove. Go away, losers! And stop bothering us more humble people.

12/09/2011 23:11pm. At 11:11pm, I yawned while trolling online. It was a boring night.
12/09/2011 19:01pm. At around 6:59pm, Yeyo came out of her nest box. We quickly opened the nest box and saw the egg shell still stuck on the back of the first parakeet of five eggs. (Later at 7:10am, Yeyo came out of her next box again. The baby was making loud chirping sounds, probably from hunger.)

12/09/2011 at 08:12pm:
Five minutes before the mass, I dropped off the two elderly ones. All of a sudden Josie, the emotionally insane Mexicana, started to scream through the back right window where Maw was trying to emerge: “I was trying to cross the street.” I could hear Maw say sorry. I screamed back: “I’m sorry, bitch!” And I flicked her off. Of course, I should have yielded to the insane one but choose to let her wait since she failed to give us drivers DIRECT eye contact that she REALLY wanted to cross.
As soon as I parked the MB E430, I saw Fred barely limping from where he parked behind me to the lobby. He mysteriously paused in the middle of the lobby, looked in my directly with a blank face and nodded a greeting in return to my greeting. I grabbed the leftmost door, swung it wide open (carefully) and scooted fast past another slow Asian woman in the hopes to make distance from the freak. Earlier this morning, he was seen driving northbound from Capitol Ave. And we assume that he came from his “girlfriend’s apartment because he usually comes out of his house from our route to go to mass.
When I got to the fifth pew from the back left section of the church, it took a long time for the two old farts to “unkneel”, sit down and put up the pew. I started to whisper to Maw that Josie is crazy for making another loud scene in front of the church and prior to mass and how she screams at the ushers, too. Maw later told me that she was joking and that it doesn’t bother me. I told Maw in a somewhat louder but whispered tone that if Josie was in her right mind (which she isn’t, of course) she wouldn’t trip off so easily in public.
Reminder: There are psychos on both sides of the fence. Those who pray too much, like Gloria, that Chinese who grew up in Philippines, are insane. Sorry, these people will never be healed.
12/09/2011 14:07pm. I had to take this note later to avoid being rude during the conversation about how the Social Security benefits went up while the Medicare cost went up just about the same — a wash if COLA (or “cost of living allowance“, if you will). While “Binh” used his right hand to prevent/control “Minh” from sharing too much information: Minh made three points clear without adding drama, which “Binh” has done throughout. But I forgot. Anyway, the numbers are 1436, 1116 and 135 net of what is “shared” for those who put into the system. It’s just a “free” sandwich of four dollars for most.
12/09/2011 13:53pm. I had to take this note later to avoid being rude during the conversation as “Binh” ranted with the wild look in his face and anger in his eyes as he told stories about the nasty Carlos and the stupid Dick: “You can’t teach a donkey to dance” (twice). Sean almost broke the microphone by jamming it incorrectly. “Binh” had to have the system turned off while he yanked the piece out and taught Sean how to hook up the equipment properly on the main altar. But because Carlos is nasty, Sean didn’t know and now goes to “Binh” for help.
In another example, Carlos was being nasty by fingering a college graduate (with a master degree) like a dog with his index finger and ushering her in haste to service. The mother was right in front of the incident and was disgusted. Father “Mike” needs to know how disruptive Carlos can be. His photo is next to ours towards the back of the advertisement page of the “souvenir book”.
In an unrelated story, “Binh” was told by a priest, who probably fell asleep behind his car and crashed it going uphill to his home. The wheel(s) was/were badly damaged and the repair would cost around two to three thousand dollars of which “Binh” used his conscious to go get a quarter of the cost from his credit union as donation. “Binh” didn’t mean to brag. But Maw followed up on how I didn’t the same, only monthly for about a while. The dudes know what I mean. I didn’t mention Omar to “Binh”, who might have overhead my mumblings. Hehehe!
12/09/2011 13:28pm. At 07:26am, I heard the aggressive dragging of the hapless garbage and recyling bins into the backyard. I had just opened the blinds to my bedroom window while trying to get dressed quickly for this morning’s mass. I didn’t hear her slam the poor wooden gate.
12/09/2011 13:25pm. When we got back from the visit up to 13:15pm, we saw the maroon-colored, Dodge caravan parked over the public sidewalk, leading up to the divorced nutter’s house next door to us. (Sidenote: The illegal ALIEN has been using LoLinda’s white, Honda CR-V. So if the SJPD sees a light, brown-haired guy with thick “rocker” shades, that’s the divorced nutters second husband. She was standing in front of her unopened garage door and looking into our direction again. I had to immediately close the garage door to Paw’s stubborn protest. We were able to unload the three plastic bags of persimmon fruits and a bag of small Fuji apples.
12/09/2011 12:07pm. The three of visited the house of a couple of parishioners. “Binh” showed us a letter dated November 4, 1997. It was from the Adminstrator, Jean Dargis. “Binh’s” letter is proof that he served first and hired Carlos six months later. So the “souvenir book” must be corrected to make amends. Bahahaha!
12/09/2011 09.24.33am. MB E430’s dashboard 41,233 (odometer) and 204.4 (speedometer).
12/09/2011 09:22am. Auntie Norma and the Auntie Chingster-in-law think alike. In their minds, they don’t want to be losers. In order for them NOT to feel like losers, they would play along as if nothing happened. All my paternal relatives have that SAME attitude. That’s why the divorced Chingster continues to attend the parties of her insane in-laws, just to spite them, by sitting where everyone can be annoyed.
12/09/2011 09:15am. Maw talked about how some people want to do something with their goal is being on top right away without a solid foundation of working hard. Paw talked about how Lola Sariah taught him how to iron clothes and do laundry. So that when he was in the US Navy, he knew how to make his clothes ready.
12/09/2011 09:13am. Lola Sariah put for of the oldest of her grandchildren to grade school: Norma, Hilyo, Ver and Rudy. She paid farmers who worked in the sugar cane fields and earned some money from fresh vegetables, which Paw described as being like “string beans“.
12/09/2011 09:05am. Maw talked further about how her father made a round basket made out of bamboo (or “new-lah-goo” in her hometown) with a handle. Her mother used the basket for selling food in town.
12/09/2011 09:02am. Maw talked to Paw after breakfast about how her father builded two houses in Manila. When he got back from the city and to his hometown in Kalayaan, he brought home some “kastanyas” (or chestnuts), apples and grapes. But because the kids weren’t used to eatingh fruits, they were not excited and just stared at the abundance. The neighbors thought Maw’s family was wealthy because no one could afford to buy those types of foods, so long ago…
12/09/2011 08:57am. We ate at McDs for breakfast and had a McMuffin with Eggs and Sausage and one McSkillet burritos. We saw Charlotte the homeless, psycho woman talking with someone who appears to be her sister because of the nose and blond hair. The sister asked if she got her Social Security and if she needed some cash money.
The normal sister is well dressed and accessorizes with matching camel colored clothes and muted color tones for a bag of patchwork. She left as I looked in her direction. The psycho woman was eating the breakfast that her “sister” brought/bought to her. We noticed that the psycho had matching pink shoes and socks and a pink bag, too.
12/09/2011 08:44am. There used to be old stores off Capitol Ave. First there was the Emporium Capwell (of white letters and beige paint), then Montgomery Ward and then the current Targets store.
Per deleted comment on 20111209 at 15:58:11 PM PST: 12/09/2011 07:29am. Addendum. During the packed church of worshippers for Immaculate Conception, three spooks crowded us in front and in back. I whacked the red hooded Vietnamese/Thailand woman with orangutan hair color because she sat down too fast and almost his my face as I was trying to sit down. I kicked the folded pew kneeler because another Asian woman in orangutan hair color was smoothing down her long her and trying to wrap it in a rubber band in front of Maw, who was seated. Maw tried to calm me down and I whispered to the spook: “You’re rude. Thank you.”
Per deleted comment on 20111209 at 16:02:42 PM PST: 12/092011 08:10am. After we crossed our foreheads, mouths and hearts, we sitting down to hear the sermon of Father “Lim”. I took notes about how I wanted to reset my brain, clean my bad mouth and clear my dark heart during the “Glory be to God” prior to the reading of today’s gospel. I’ll keep those thoughts in mind for future “rituals” prior to the gospels.

12/08/2011 09:14. The change for today’s grocery at Seafood City was $1.33!
12/08/2011 16:29pm. After playing with my speaker phone messing up the translation, I had a thought. I think it’s like a bank that gets too big that it eventually has to go pop because its plastic cannot expand further and gets brittle over time. Then I viewed some humorous YouTube videos. I like the musical parody on Conan the Barbarian and hearing the “lamentation of the women”. Bahahaha!
12/08/2011 16:17pm. I saw a Mexicano kid walk northbound along the sidewalk of MY long stretch road, paused in front of the eucalyptus tree next to the neighbor in front of us, looked for traffic and crossed over to continue walking northbound on the other side. He wore a black hoodie, double-knit jacket and matching black pants. His hair was buzzed short, too. I was closing the blinds to my bedroom window upstairs. Just then, a dark-green colored long-bed, truck was turning “left” and going northbound too.
12/08/2011 14:24pm. Long ago, rich Chinese, who are citizens of the Philippines, stayed longer in the private hospital (De Ocampo Hospital).
12/08/2011 14:23pm. Maw shared a story of how the residence/patients at De Ocampo Hospital would give a dessert called “tikoy” to the staff during Christmas.
12/08/2011 14:31pm. Maw sensed that the fraud would have given a simple answer: And sure enough, with regards to today’s testimony by Jon Corzing: “I simply don’t know where the money is…” In order words, we know damn well, if the “committee” cannot find/locate the missing money of $1.2 billion, then of course he won’t tell them! Bahahaha!
12/08/2011 13:30pm. At 13:27, a helicopter flew directly over our home and was headed in a southwest (200-220) direction, toward the SJC airport.
12/08/2011 13:26pm. Without fail our taxpayers’ money is being wasted on the San Jose white utility truck, which was seen parked (facing northbound) between two eucalyptus trees, next to the neighbor in front of us.
12/08/2011 13:04pm. From the stop sign at the RUE, an SJPD squad car proceeded down MY drive.
12/08/2011 13:00pm. The blue four door sedan was parked across from the divorced nutters house. Billy was picking up his daughter, Melinda. They turned left going southbound on MY long stretch of road.
12/08/2011 12:36pm. The same white-colored utility truck (San Jose City), driven by two white guys wearing reflective shades, sped southbound on MY long stretch of road.
12/08/2011 12:00pm. The divorced nutter arrived home. I finished dumping my first bag of mulch when I saw the psycho getting her mail. She had a smug stink around her. I noticed she was wearing tight pants and brown boots covering her calf. She then proceeded to pretend cleaning the side area of the fence by picking up a piece of roll up paper and throwing it behind her and then adjusting the garden hose with her slutty butt showing to the public. Perhaps, the government can take away her disability checks for defrauding the system with the lunacy of screaming at women and little girls.
12/08/2011 11:50pm. Around the same time Paw found the photo, they were seen “driving by” our location like gangsters. To the SJPD, they drove slowly southbound. I could see the driver smiling at my/our direction and looking out his opened window. Then they made a U-turn at the cul-de-sac behind us and drove slower on OUR side. I saw the passenger smiling at my/our direction and looking out his opened window. Perhaps, y’all need to install CAMERA on MY long stretch of road.
12/08/2011 11:30pm. Paw found a small, faded photo near our gate where I dreamt of a Hispanic couple. The photo was washed out in red color and it was about the width of three fingers. The photos showed two guys on the left and one female on the right. The fat guy in the center was weaing a medal. The guy on the left had a blanket on his back. The girl had long curly brunette hair. I put it in my right pocket of my black-colored, acrylic vest in the hopes of scanning it for later but it got washed accidentally by Maw.
12/08/2011 09:45pm. I recalled an incident when I was a teenager. Uncle Florene and Auntie Hely were sitting in the back seat of our dark-olive Buick Electra 525. Paw was driving and enjoying his new tape, which sounded like a woman asking for my sex: “Gimme, gimme, gimme more! Gimme, gimme, gimmie more! Just give me, gimme some more! Ah! Aw! Oh Ah! Aw! Oh! Ahhh!” Maw got infuriated at the song, turned around to talke with the relative couple behind us and told them she didn’t like the tape because it was inappropriate. I really liked the “pole dancing” beat. But I had to turn the volume down since I was up front and sitting in the middle of the long, one-piece cushion and kept quiet the rest of the way.
12/08/2011 08:5am. I wonder if the Catholic Church is the stage ground for the NWO in ROME, ITALY! A kingpin was found hiding in an underground bunker.
12/08/2011 08:00am. Our “Monsigneur” celebrated mass for the first time with the changes in the New Roman Missal. Today is “Immaculate Conception“. His sermon was about the mother agreeing to hybridization. I wondered if she was threatened that the whole planet would have been destroyed if she did not comply to this event.
12/08/2011 08:00am. “Joe” Paterno should be jailed. Nancy Pelosi should be jailed. “Bank of Italy” screwed up with the mortgage service. Heck! All “Italians” who are corrupt politicians should go to jail.

20111206-Latest “balita”
Here are my notes (based on yesterday evening’s long-distance phone conversation) via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
12/06/2011 09:23am. Pee-Wee told his father, William, not to send monthly allotment to the house of his girlfriend but to Yesha, his mother. The girl’s family lives with him and the father didn’t like to “support” everyone under one roof because the “wife” is taking advantage of the money. He now lives with his mother in Manila, Philiippines.
12/06/2011 09:21am. Auntie Aida loves her son Valeriano. He used to come her hair and say nice things to her. But now he got a wife and son and supports them with a job delivering medication to different islands of the Philippines. I could hear Maw stifle back tears as I took notes. I sensed her own boy has the uncompassionate/thick blood of his father/relatives who came from Batangas, Philippines.
12/06/2011 09:14am. Yesha has a long time friend who is Chinese. She taught her friend how to speak English. As a token/gesture of kindness, the Chinese invited Yesha to stay over in China. The Chinese told Yesha to pretend that her boxes belong to her and to lift her boxes to the place. It so happens that the Chinese introduced Yesha to a guy, who wanted Yesha’s passport. And when Yesha refused, they tried to get a copy. She cussed at them and wanted to go back home in the Philippines but the long-time friend convinced her to stay awhile and apologized. Their business is Amway. She gets commission that way.

20111205-Random Thoughts
Here are my notes taken via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
Per deleted comment on 20111206 at 00:07:13 AM PST: FAIR WARNING: Make sure your darn hard work/charitable donation goes DIRECTLY to the name of your local parish in a form of a check (NOT cash) and NOT to any ALLEGED priest (either Filipino or Hispanic), both of whom have been known to be frauds in the general areas of our diocese. For example, it has been reported that prayers are said in households and then donations are made therein.
Per deleted comment on 20111205 at 23:51:14 PM PST:
At around 05:18pm, I saved a copy of and researched about Psalms 69: 9-10:
“(9) For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
(10) When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that was my reproach.”
—
My first impression was the “69″ and then “6-9-9″.
My second impression was about food again, of course.Per deleted comment on 20111205 at 23:32:27 PM PST: After breakfast today and at around 10:30am, I went out to sweep up most of the leaves from the backyard after a few days of VERY gusty winds. I heard one crow barking over my head as it alighted upon the second cypress from the cul-de-sac behind us. It kept on making barking noises while I raked up leaves from the grass and started overheating from the HOT sunshine and thick black vest made of acrylic. Whew!
Per deleted comment on 20111205 at 23:30:37 PM PST: 12/05/2011 07:24am. At 07:23am, I went to open up the blinds to my bedroom window. When suddenly, I heard a goose over head! It made three honking noise. The direction of flight would be from a general north to south.
12/05/2011 19:43pm. Maw recalled what Fred told us long ago. His mother didn’t want him to join the US Navy. He signed up anyway and the recruiting officer would send call cards to the newbies. But Fred’s mother kept intercepting his mail and wouldn’t give the call cards to him (back in the Philippines)!
12/05/2011 19:41pm. Maw recalled what Fred told us long ago. Fred’s parents would spank him for no reason. We thought that perhaps he was desparate (like the boy/mentor who jumped into bed and married the twit/staff) to leave the home and married Rose, even though she was ten years older than him.
12/05/2011 14:12pm. I watched a show on television about a woman whose spouse raped her. She recorded the whole thing and her voice could be heard screaming. The husband filed a lawsuit against the wife for “spousal support” while in jail. The judge ordered her to pay $1,000 to her rapist. I recall doing a online research on “Landy K” long ago and saw that he too file a lawsuit for “spousal support”. A squire did a query on him and said: “Yup. That’s him.” Two others happen to be a fat bastard and a fellow “moron” online. Meh. Therefore, I’ve learned to give a piece of my mind via this weblog than to receive karma.
12/05/2011 13:49pm. There is a wall for the “Family Giving Tree” in the lobby of our local parish. Every year, I would donate to this charity through my full-time and temporary employment. Usually, the tags would go up once until all tags have been filled. Unfortunately, Josie would keep on adding more tags! That’s a no-no in today’s economy. It so happens that Carlos got in a fight with the Josie, who is emotionally insane of course, but to no avail. She continues to gather the gifts and fills up her garage, hopefully, to send those off to the recipient and not re-sell them to the open/flea market.
12/05/2011 13:37pm. Today a “priest” helped un/load the host from the tabernacle for the congregation/assembly/parishioners and BARELY read the “Communion Antiphon”. After all, the Vietnamese gets free food and lodging and Father “Mike” suggested that he needs to know the operation of mass. “Minh” also over/heard how Margaret and Thuy are always fighting. These “Asians” have no concept in life.
12/05/2011 11:36am. We finished shopping at 99 Ranch Market for two/four large/small cans of coconut, two cucumber and one head of lettuce to today’s lunch. The receipt came out to $12.28 total with $7.72 in change on 11:33am.
12/05/2011 11:09am. The MB E430’s dashboard read 41,173 (odometer) and 144.1 (speedometer) at 11:09am. At 11:11am, the numbers changed to 41,174 and 144.4
12/04/2011 13:13pm. At 1:13pm, my car’s dashboard read 72,142 (odometer) and 853.3 (speedometer).

20111205-Latest “balita”
Here are my notes taken via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
12/05/2011 22:05pm. Auntie Aida bought some meat a local store. The seller took 6,000 pesos and didn’t return 3,000 pesos in error because Auntie has some senility/dementia. So she went back to the seller to get back the money she stole. But the seller denied getting more than expected. In a few days, the seller died. Auntie Aida said that was karma.
12/05/2011 22:04pm. Auntie Aida was being abused by the maid, who threatened to kill both her daughter, Yesha, and her, if she told the daughter, who had no idea that the DISABLED mother had “pasa” (or bruises) . It so happened that some students and a police saw the abuse. The police told Yesha to file a complaint. The judge had to come downstairs to the old woman to hear her testimony. The maid is in jail.
12/05/2011 22:02pm. The talk time between Maw and her niece Yesha totaled 109.43 minutes.

Maw sensed the boy forgot. If he had remembered, he would have sent a greeting in the morning. I was touched, though, at the late thought. As for Donna’s email, I replied at 07:20pm via my cellphone, which didn’t refresh any updates until much later.
So that’s four and one-half people that greeted me today with the one-half being an “automated/generic call”. Thanks all! And have a nice evening.

Ay ya ya ya…
“Maw! I meant the Mexican song: Ay ya ya ya! I didn’t mean to offend you like that!” I exclaimed (again).
“You can’t give yourself credit when I did all the hard work. All you do is be critical of your Paw and me. You and your brother never give us credit. All of you ruined my Thanksgiving holiday!” Sobbed Maw (again) as she was wiping down the counter after all the cooking has been done.
“You should listen to your brother, Lindsey and your Auntie Edith! I advise you to get a life, live on your own and find some friends! Leave your Paw and me alone so we could die together in this house! All we want is peace and quiet” Maw continued.
—
Ay, yai, yai! Happy Thanksgiving, folks! This is what happens when middle-aged women/people live with their parents for too long.
After the dark energy manifested for the dying one, we heard the doorbell ring at around 11:00am. Thank God for the Edible Arrangement. I thought we were saved!
“I’m not going to eat that food! You two eat that food! I’m going to throw that away. Most Filipinos would question the cleanliness of the gift item.”
“They think gifts will make everything fine! Well, it’s not! That gift item is for AIR-HEADS. They wasted their money again!”
“They are afraid of us/coming to this house. They can’t face the truth. When they come over, I’m going to hit them over the head!”*
*That’s her figurative speech.
For about twenty minutes, Maw has been speaking with Auntie Norma. That was a surprise and the only call we received for today.

Honestly, the fruit wasn’t sweet. But the thought was nice.

The follow quotes are taken from the card (see attached scanned images of a thoughtful card that came along with the Edible Arrangement gift that was received today on 11/24/2011 at 11:00am) with a Biblical passage on the Left page (or verso) inside of the card.
“Hugs and smiles
and caring prayers
with thankfulness
for all we share…are sent with love
from here to there!God Bless You
With A Very Happy
Thanksgiving!”“The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.”

20111123-Random Thoughts
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.
