St. Patrick's Catholic Church

I went to a free concert Handel's Messiah at St. Patrick church downtown DC.

I think it was my first experience in a Catholic church, it was pretty interesting. I think I'll go to a mass one day.

I suppose I am just accustomed to the typical Mormon culture. I suppose that is why I don't like the Colonial Ward. I mean the building the ward meets in is just odd compared to the latest standard meeting houses.

Anyway, I only recognized one song. I was only planning on staying for an hour. When that time came, they broke into some kind of service. Before I finally slipped out I donated a couple bucks for the Christmas collection or whatever.

I was temped to look around because I saw a sign for the Spy Museum. I wanted to get home though because if the Internet wasn't working, I could barrow a roommates phone. I even ignored the temptation to go to work and check my email there.

I am somewhat relieved now that I was at least able to call my friend to check the status of the email server. Nate came out of his room after my much cursing. That's terrible I know, but I knocked on is door first. I just assumed he was gone. D'oh!
