"They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band"



This is just too cool not to post, it helps with the blahs!!! Mark Knopfler rules. Hey, since we're now friends on Facebook, this is for Alex, who I know loves DS.

I was told today by the Judicial Vicar of our diocese that I looked like a Lutheran pastor. What a compliment! If I were not Catholic I'd probably be a Lutheran, or possibly an Anglican.

Veni Sancti Spiritus, veni per Mariam.
