Sunday in New York

Church of the Holy Name
96th and Amsterdam

AJ, Jo Anne, and I went to the nine o'clock mass at Holy Name. The church has soaring rafters, a favorite roosting spot for the pigeons that fly in through the open doors from the street. Sometimes they fly low over the pews, and everyone ducks and hopes they don't get bombed.

Here I am sitting in our pew. Today, we sang "Be Not Afraid" and "On Eagle's Wings." Good choice. ( I'm thinking of the pigeons.)

Deluxe Diner
113th and Broadway

During their "New York Year" (2005/06), Jo Anne and AJ often went to Sunday brunch at the diner after mass. They always ordered eggs benedict. For sentimental reasons, they did the same thing today. Actually, they do enjoy eating the same thing over and over again.

Working together. To each his/her own.
