Today we're a day late, but not because of the computer this time. It's been one busy weekend, so not much got done. Many of the segments were recorded yesterday, and the dates given reflect that. We landed up moving choir rehearsal from today to yesterday this week (normally we rehearse on Tuesday nights), as we have our Confirmation Mass tonight. Plus, I got to see my daughter in a play yesterday in her afterschool drama club. She really did me proud, like all my kids do!
