Me and my brother went to Mass at Franciscan and saw a whole bunch of people we know. It's always good to hang out on campus - it takes me back to summers working there, going to Mass and hanging out with friends.
We had some lunch (high quality Steubenville Chinese food) and then went shopping for supplies to make dinner. We ended up making bacon-wrapped chicken with feta cheese and pecans (by Rachel Ray ... something I learned at the parish). It seemed to come together well.
Later on, we hung out with our cousins and then went back to Franciscan for a talk on Pope Benedict and the liturgy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The biggest point I took from it was how much of a pastor Pope Benedict is, even when it comes to liturgy.
Tomorrow I'll head back to Latrobe to meet up with two of my classmates. Then, on Wednesday, we're going to beging the long trek down to Cullman, Alabama for the (early) ordination of one of our classmates. It's about 12 hours down, so it will be a nice road trip. I always like seeing new parts of the country and this will be my first trip to Alabama.
I will be "tweeting" (what a horrible word) and taking some pictures, so stay tuned.

Sounds fun! Will you be visiting EWTN while you are there? I went while on Crossroads and if you have time, it would be a nice side trip for your visit to Alabama.
It has been! We went to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament but not EWTN itself. The Shrine was beautiful. The campus here at St. Bernard is very nice as well.
