[Friends Locked]
I think I may have missed out on a successful career as a very specific type of gigolo.
Not seriously, of course.
But the little old ladies of Nativity BVM are quite fond of me. Almost to the point of being cheeky. When I moved out, Mrs. H and I struck a deal that I would drive her to church on Sunday mornings, which I've been doing. Obviously, it's also an attempt on her part to get me to go inside once in a while, too. This week I finally took her up on it, for whatever reason. I wasn't reduced to ash upon the threshold, which I suppose is a good sign.
Afterward there was a pancake meal, an event I actually remember fondly from my childhood because breakfast at home wasn't always an option. If anyone's interested, the main difference between a Catholic pancake breakfast and a Presbyterian pancake breakfast, as far as I can tell, is that the Catholics also serve mimosas. ;)
Being the only man under the age of fifty and over the age of fifteen, I was pressed into service. Literally. They had me making and serving pancakes. I wore an apron. The little old ladies went wild. It was a lot of fun.
So hopefully sharing the image of me in a frilly blue apron will make up for my lack of postings on the Network. I've been busy.
