It is officially cold today; when I took my noontime rosary
walk, I had to use the Cuddly Rosary. Then I had forgotten that they set off
the tornado sirens for five minutes every first Wednesday at noon, and five
minutes feels like a very long time when you are outside and the sirens are
blaring right in your ears. I just pretended I was in a war movie, and the
sirens were warning me of approaching bombers.
Last night Travalon and I had dinner with an old friend of
mine at Liliana’s. The dinner featured squash, so the first course was ginger
and squash soup, the main course was scallops with squash, and the dessert was
this amazing squash crumble with spiced whipped cream. I have known this friend
since college, but we hadn’t seen each other in years. She is the one who first
introduced me to Tiffy, and the two of them hang out a lot, but she seemed to
lose interest in me once I became Catholic. Last night we just started talking
like there had been no gap in our friendship, so maybe she is over the Catholic
thing. She has led an interesting life, studying in Madrid and Kuala Lumpur and
traveling to many other countries. In fact, she has an MBA with a focus on
international trade. It almost makes me think I should get an MBA with a focus
on finance, since that is what I work in anyway. Of course, that doesn’t entail
studying in Malaysia, but it might result in an increase in salary. However, I
enjoy working in an academic setting, so honestly I probably won’t bother.
