Stockbridge Visit 2024

As I wait in the Tanglewood Music Center parking lot I write. Glad I have something to do as it will be at least another hour to get out of the lot. It also took me 40 minutes to find Gina, my car. πŸš— Some things never change. It was the same deal when I went to a Renee Fleming concert here 10 years ago.

This overnight trip came at an opportune time post Joe’s 90 minute misadventure with the rapist. Today I understand he’s back to normal, and on the campaign trail according to my son in law who knew I was devastated by the debate.

Maybe they gave him a shot of vitamin C to perk him up, and if so they should have done so before the debate.

Today I started by day in prayer and lighting candles for Joe at the Divine Mercy Center in West Stockbridge. It was a perfect day weather wise.

And while I left the church after the unsupreme court decision which the church had their fingerprints all over, I still pray. Some habits never go away, however I limit any contributions as I know where it goes..

It seems like Latinos, Asians, Phillipinos, and Africans, are the only folks involved with this church. And while I may sound crass they aren’t givers as they don’t have it. Maybe the old white folks will caddy up in their wills to keep these places afloat.

What was that called, indulgences for heaven.?
