We went to our new niece's christening and it was an ordeal. The ceremony was very nice but the dinner afterward took forever. It was great to see everyone but the seats were kind of small and my leg started hurting like a bastard.
Now the funny part about the ceremony is that we went to what was described to me all the time as a very "gay friendly" Catholic church in Staten Island. My sister in law's brother is gay and he and his partner of about ten years are at all of our family events.They are very active in this parish. Now the funny thing about the whole situation is that everyone loves the guy's partner who is a hell of nice guy. But everybody hates the brother. He is just a real bastard. In fact the only reason most people put up with him is because of his "spouse." The cool gay guy also had his mom and dad there and they are wonderful people. All in all I bemused how things turn out. People are people you know.
But those chairs in the restaurant really sucked. I have been limping like Chester in Gunsmoke all freaking day.

I always got Chester and Festis mixed-up. My two favorite charicters though, or one as I may have thought at the time...
Chester was the Macloud guy, Dennis Weaver. He was the male ingénue role who got the girl that was killed off every episode while Matt Dillon pined for Miss Kitty. He was later replaced for a season by Burt Reynolds who played the Indian blacksmith guy. Festus was the grizzled deputy played by Keene Curtis as comic relief. The male ingénue role was taken over by Newly who was the gunsmith in town.
My favorite character was Milburn Stone as Doc. How could you not like a drunken doctor.
That's why Pogo is so popular.
