I collect religious experiences. I’ve attended Anglican morning prayer in a 13th Century chapel in Westminster Abbey. I’ve attended Sunday Meeting with the last 7 remaining (at that time) Shakers. I’ve attended Catholic Mass in French, Spanish and Latin (and English) in many different cathedrals around the country/world. I’ve been to Quaker Meetings, Moravian Worship, and other services (that are not weddings or funerals). I have yet to experience a service outside the traditional Judeo-Christian Western Church.

It can be awkward at times — I stand/sit/kneel at the wrong point. Sometimes I don’t know the right words to say at the right times and so I am out of sync with the concrete mechanics of the service, but the overall purpose is why I’m really there.

Sports stadiums, even if it doesn’t mean seeing a game.

College, Pro, Triple-A, well-known Texas high school, etc. Doesn’t matter.

Woohoo for your brother’s collection! Let me know next time he visits a Presidential Library, I’ll see if I can help hook him up somehow.

It’s one of my life goals to visit all four Haunted Mansions. So far, I’m only up to two. I was in Paris in April but my European friends refused to go to EuroDisney (or whatever they’re calling it now) with me.

I wonder at what age “life goals” becomes “bucket list”.

Local non-chain restaurants…and if possible a local cookbook.
