This morning we went to Mass at the gym, but there were tons of cars in the parking lot so we wondered what was up. This parish has always been a friendly neighborhood one, but today was a big deal because they made it the official cathedral of the diocese. We'll have to see if that totally changes the vibe; we do have other options. Then we tried the brunch at Garver Mill, and that was great. It's very convenient from where we've been going to Mass. This church did send us mail the other day, and we wondered if they actually knew who we were and were going to ask us to formally join the parish, but it was just an appeal from the bishop asking for money for the cathedral. I was both relieved and disappointed.
We watched a bit of the Packer game, but Jordan Love is injured so they were playing with the backup quarterback. They were doing pretty well, and they had quite a running game and some defense going on, although the Colts have the former Badger Jonathan Taylor playing for them, and he can run right through our defenses too. The Packers were up 13-0, but they seemed to stall, and our neighbor had invited us to go sailing, so we taped the game. Here I am manning the tiller.
And here is a tern on a buoy. We passed closer by it on the way out, and it didn't fly away.
Travalon got to man the tiller quite a bit too, and we both helped a bit with the sail, but without our neighbor there, we'd have no idea what to do. It was a hot day with very little wind, but out on the water we did have a bit of a breeze and got some sailing in. Then we came back and watched the rest of the Packer game - they won 16-10. Travalon watched the Wolverhampton game that he had taped, since it was right during Mass, while I went out for a rosary walk in the shade. It is so hot for mid September! The woman who hosts band practice doesn't have air conditioning, or at least she never uses it, so after an hour and a half I had to call it quits. I just can't take the heat anymore.
I forgot to mention that yesterday at the Arboretum, we saw a mother deer with two young, older than the tiny, spotted stage but still quite small. They were very close to us and didn't seem afraid of five people. Jilly Moose got some photos.
I also forgot that we were talking about weird movies that other people had talked us into watching, and I said once Antoshka talked Cecil Markovitch, the Single B-Boy, and I into watching an Icelandic movie called Noi Albinoi that was very depressing. He was always fantasizing about moving to Hawaii, and at the end everyone but him died in a volcano eruption. I said we had been making fun of the movie (much to Antoshka's annoyance), saying we should make a sequel called Noi 2: Noi in Paradise or something like that, where he goes to Hawaii. Then Rich had the brilliant idea that all his friends in Hawaii could die in a volcano eruption. Why did we never think of that all those years ago? Of course!
Tonight there are faint Northern Lights, but neither Travalon nor I could get good photos. Mine look like clouds, not those cool Northern Light photos people always post online. Someone told me to use the delayed exposure on your phone, so I tried that, and I got some cool cloud photos. Check this one out.
That was more interesting than what I could see with my bare eyes, but it's not Northern Lights.
