dining with a priest

Let's recap/update:

• My Grandpa: 8/20/06
• Amy's Grandpa: 8/24/06
• Last payment to credit card company went through: 8/25
  
• Chiefs Game: 8/26
  
• Trip to Dubuque, IA for the Funeral: 8/27
• My first Wake, they prayed through the rosary: 8/27
• My first Catholic Funeral: 8/28
  
• My first Catholic Eucharist (no I didn't partake!!) 8/28
• Drive home: 8/28

I have two more things to add.
First, the whole time I was at the Wake and the Funeral, my mind was racing with questions. I kept running through questions I was going to ask Richard when I got home. So Richard when you read this (and I know you will) prepare yourself.
Secondly, I got to dine with the priest of the church/parish where the funeral was held. A side note: The church was very very cool looking. I wouldn't call it beautiful because I very rarely call anything man-made beautiful. Anyway the priest sat right next to me at the table. I found this very ironic because of all the questions that were racing through my head pertaining to Catholicism. Who better to ask than the "big man" himself, right? YEAH RIGHT!! It was not the appropriate time for questions. So we made small talk. It turns out he was recently in KC visiting a friend of his who's parish is possibly in Olathe/OP he couldn't remember. All he remembered was that it was a parish with a fairly decent school. Around 700 people. Does this sound familiar Richard?
