After I got done with the previous blog post, I headed over to the gym. Keep in mind that I was still really sore and still dressed in my Sunday clothes. Soccer? I think not. However, I was convinced that it was a good idea, so the vest and pocket watch came off, the rugs were scooted out to the end-zone, and I became the best-dressed goalie in the game. I wasn't the best goalie, that's for sure, but if style counted, I was definitely scoring points by my pretty-boy look...
After that, I headed back to the apartment, ate four ears of corn on the cob and some potatoes, while watching Gargoyles. What a fun evening...

Is Christendom a Seminary or a college? I had never heard of it prior to reading your blog. I came here by way of a comment you left on Tanna's place (MSN SPACES) regarding home schooling. It sounds like you enjoy a quiet life. :)
Be Blessed.

Hello, Christine. Christendom is a college, based in the Front Royal, VA area. It is one of the most conservative Catholic colleges (if not the most conservative) in North America. If you need to find a place to send your children to college, start your looking at Christendom -- trust me.
I had posted a comment to you on your vocation discernment weekend post as well as on this one. Do I understand correctly that Christendom has masses both in English and Latin? We do have one church in our area that offers the tridentine mass, however, I have never attended there. We have friends who love the tridentine mass. I have enough difficulty getting my children to attend and behave at the French language mass every other week at our parish. Thank you for your comment.

You do understand correctly, although I should say that the Latin Mass that is said on the Christendom College campus is the Mass of Paul VI, the way it was intended. It is not the Tridentine Latin Mass. Lovers of the Tridentine (such as myself) can go to it at St. John the Baptist parish on Sundays at noon. This church is off-campus, about ten miles away. It's fairly simple for students to get to, and a good number of students go there regularly. There are several other options for the Tridentine Latin Mass -- the second closest is an independent chapel associated with the SSPX, called St. Athanasius. It seems to me that you would not be interested in that one. The next one out is Old St. Mary's in Washington DC, which is probably the most popular one in the DC metropolitan.
If you want a different kind of tradition that goes back about another ten centuries, Holy Transfiguration is a Meklite-Catholic (Eastern Rite) parish in Mclean, VA, and it celebrates the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.
