GC, that's great that your dad picked up Brokeback.

Bewitched, I liked what you had to say. I always felt I was odd, a non-catholic, to go into a church, and light a candle. Are they going to think me intrusive? I have always tried to be respectful, though I have some issues with religion. I love the beauty of the old churches. I was just at the one in downtown LA, across from Union Station. I love the Missions, though I deplore many of the things that happened under their watch. Mission San Buenaventura is near me, and it's gorgeous. There's just an air of peace to the place. Small garden in the middle, the magnificent church, and it's quiet and gentle and then there's the statue of Mary in the garden, which always has flowers and candles in front of her. Mary's someone I could connect to.

Thank you.
