Sorry. Back now.

If you're still checking this regularly, I apologize and I intend to change these lulls in content.
That said, what's going on?
Currently I'm sitting in my sofa/recliner with headphones on listening to Griffin House, whom I'm going to see this weekend up the street in Oakley. I recommend taking a gander at his music at http://www.griffinhousemusic.com. He's fairly new and is gaining more popularity every day, which spiked when CBS Sunday Morning mentioned him a couple of months ago.
Earlier tonight I was at RCIA, which I don't believe I've mentioned on here, but it's the group I've met with every Thursday night since early January regarding joining the Catholic church. It's just a few of us and we discuss scripture, faith and Catholic practice. This coming weekend is a big one in terms of our process in joining the church. It's the Rite of Election, which basically means the Archbishop grants us peace in our journey in faith. Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation take place on April 15, the day before Easter.
This tradition stems from early Christianity when the church was heavily persecuted. Those interested in joining would have to endure a process meant to show their true intentions so the church could avoid "members" who would join only to alert authorities to the identities of Christian leaders. Is this process necessary to be a Christian these days? Of course not. The importance of various practices lies in the individual and how he or she chooses to express his or her faith.
Jen's in Vail, Colorado, this weekend, visiting two college roommates and skiing. The trip was low-cost because of two reasons: our friend is a ski instructor in Vail and acquires free lift tickets and the second reason is Jen's dad has approximately 1 billion frequent flier miles which were incorporated in the trip. I drove jen to the airport at 5:30 a.m. today, apparently. I wasn't too awake and once I came home, went to sleep and woke up, it all seemed like a dream.
