I made my first communion there… after that, I was done with church when they wanted me to confess my sins. Apparently at whatever age I was at then, I was too evil to allow that to happen.

@PrfktTear – I grew up in Rockland and know that Holy Family Church very well. I’m Protestant so I didn’t attend the church but I coould safely hazard a guess that 99.9% of my town’s population did. Then they would grab their pitchforks and hunt down the infidel in their midst. Good times. : )

Hi Jason,

Don’t mind me, I’m just being all stalkerish and reading your “real” blog. My cousin Nichole was married just this last weekend at Holy Family church in Rockland and the reception was held at Monponsett Inn. Small world!

Regards,
Chris

[...] Jason’s parents made many tickets available to people that made the trip. (Ed has written up a nice account of the time and posted it and my comments are over there so I’ll skip that part here.) Noelle was supposed to attend [...]

@Aunt Sharon – Thanks for passing that on – definitely made my night (and this comes on the heels of just returning from Cuckoo’s Nest Rehearsal where we practiced a fist fight between McMurphy and I over and over – meaning I got to punch the star at least 20 times!!!)

My one true regret in life (and this is serious) is that I never pursued that Journalism career – or more to the point – some career in writing – opting to follow a job that actually, you know, paid – which is what I needed so dearly back in those early post-college days. Anyway, the reason I have always harbored some bit of regret is I always wanted to do it for Grandpa as he was always there looking to read my latest UMASS Daily Collegian articles when I returned for break. He was always my biggest fan.

Anyway, this little bit made me smile and I’m very happy he enjoyed it.

@Ed- I printed off this post for Nana and Grampa to read ( as I do with many of his wonderful family related entries) and Grampa said ( and I quote) ” I always thought I was a good writer, but Eddie just puts me to shame”. He was quoting bits of it that he thought were particularly well-worded, but I did have to try and explain the whole “Lost” part. And, of course, he said it must have been a wonderful affair, and I show him the pictures of him there…again, and assure him he had a great time! Grampa seems happy that he did!

And I can live without the gravatar, I am probably way too old to do anything cool like that…

Uh…I don’t even remember the whole Gravatar thing…which probably means I did indeed drop the ball at some point. I’ll take care of it soon…
