“Well, the most annoying thing about Pioneer Day was just I couldn't figure out what was open when. Not really that big of a deal since I had nothing else going on, but I was just struck with many moments of "Doh!" I haven't been here long enough to see anything celebratory (except residual fireworks) but I'd like to see a parade just once. Kinda interesting as an outsider, both as a non-LDS, and from someone who's not from the area (and hasn't lived here that long). And yeah, I'm having the culture shock in terms of the conservative-ism, having come here from New York. Oy! ” -

“So glad to hear about your mom - yay! BTW, I was thinking of your needle-sticking prayer (Hail Mary, full of grace, let this needle find its place!) earlier this week as I was getting some blood work done. I got stuck multiple times but when finally - upon uttering your prayer - all worked well!” -

“Interesting indeed! :-) I found his teacher experiences more interesting - probably because (as I'd noted before) that the Irish family aspect is old hat, and since I'm a new teacher in NYC - historically, I just find it interesting to read about how NYC kids were badasses (ahem) Way Back When, and how they are now. Really, I just like to compare my new-teacher-in-NYC shenanigans to Mr. McCourt's new-teacher-in-NYC experiences. :-)” -

“I've been interested in hearing your reactions to 'Tis; my mother has quite a strongly different reaction to Mr. McCourt. (Her parents/my grandparents were Irish immigrants of the same generation, although 11-20 years older than he.) It was a tough time in which he (and my grandparents) grew up, but it was never stressed as a quite the same sob story (such as it was) in my family, somehow - and my mother in particular was irritated that he portrayed his (alcoholic) father in such a pitying light. Perhaps not how I'd react in either case, but the reaction to the alcoholism in our own family was certainly different - not seen in any sort of kindly manner. I was interested in his teaching experiences in NYC, though - since I'm still getting my feet wet, and so far all of my teaching experiences have been in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Doesn't seem like the kids have changed that much! :-)” -
