Today I had my driver's license renewed and I passed the eye test without my glasses. My new official portrait is more shiny and plump than I would like to be. We'll see how it looks when it's laminated. Then I wrote about Catholics' reaction to the Pope's gesture of allowing revival of the Latin Mass. Some Catholics I spoke to didn't seem to know what to think given a choice about something they were normally told to accept or not accept in the past and I didn't really dawn on them to have a preference. Others though, had very personal opinions. When I got home, the little globe lights that illuminate the tent over our backyard picnic table were glowing and gypsy jazz guitar was playing. Jerry had prepared the rarest of filets, grilled corn and new potatoes w oregano from his garden and invented an exlir of butter, olive oil and blue cheese which seemed to be really good even on grilled corn where it doesn't' really belong. We marveled at this new creation, blue cheese butter. "What else would this be good on?" Jerry asked. Then, he answered himself. "My old shoes from sixth grade." It's true.
