Red Mass

Sorry for the delay in posts. The last week has been pretty busy. All is fine and you folks can look forward to daily posts again! (Control your excitement).

Today I had the privilege of attending Red Mass in Washington, D.C. The history of Red Mass is a long and storied one going back to Rome and Paris. The Red Mass kicks off the legal year. For more information on the Red Mass check this link out.

After the Red Mass there was a brunch held at a hotel around the block. We were able to get seats in the balcony about 10 yards away from the Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, and Justice Thomas. What a view! By the way... Justice Thomas and Justice Scalia love to eat! Those two really can go through a plate of bacon. I loved Justice Thomas' loud laugh... the man laughed at everything. He seemed to really enjoy life.

We have a new Archbishop who gave one hell of a homily. We were lucky enough to catch him before he left the hotel.
