I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. That’s what plays in my head when I hear the word “coke”. Despite it’s feel-good ad, I’m not a coke consumer. Even if they do claim “It’s the real thing.”

And it’s also a Friday, so you know what that means – something from the sea. Thought we’d really go on an adventure – to Costa Rica. Personally I’ve never been except in my dreams.

Today is a great day indeed. For one thing, it’s Friday. As a Catholic this means just one thing – a chance once again to give up something worldly for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who gave up all for me. Yeah, it’s a Meatless Friday in our house. That is just fine.
