Absolutely priceless, Chuck! Not for the first time, I could picture you telling this story on Trip in the Country. In fact, I could imagine in years to come, convincing myself that it WAS a story from Trip in the Country!

As a former alter boy of many years ago - unmolested I should add! - it was good to see you got the proper term correct for the Sacristy! Having also worked in the sign industry for years I’ll have to look into the San Francisco Neon group. Love great neon work. See you tomorrow in Charlotte - can hardly wait.
Certainly one of the more enjoyable posts! Love the photo...
3 times is a tradition!

Oh man. I love this! Your mom really needs to come hang out with you in the city more often. Who knows what else might happen!
Thanks for the post. As usual, entertaining and completely unexpected. Hope to see you soon in the great northwest.
With great power, there is a great responsibility.
Long live King Charles!
You definitely had the cutest outfit. Bet your mama was proud! ♥️
Anytime you get a story involving a preist and Warren Zevon you know it’s going to be an interesting day.

All Hail King Charles , bringer of Gold. Frankincense and Merch!
Your friend Kevin was correct: great post which had my wife and I laughing out loud.
You are now also qualified to cover John Hiatt's wonderful ditty 'Riding with the King'.
Best wishes from Mud Island, Cathy and Bernie

The Lady from Shanghai is my favorite Orson Wells film. Oh how fun to see it on the big screen in SF!
