Saturday, October 2, was a big day. I kicked off the day with Race for the Cure downtown. If memory serves, this is my fourth time doing the race in Houston. I am happy to report that this year's 5k was more of a jog than my typical walk-jog. I moseyed through the post-race festivities with Teresa and Dane before heading home.
At home I showered, scooped up Wentworth, and headed back on the road in the direction of Christ the King Lutheran Church. Wentworth received his
second St. Francis of Assisi blessing. This year Marty the dog (of Brandi and Peter Scully) accompanied Wentworth and the rest of my congregation's furry friends. Wentworth was exceptionally well behaved, though a bit timid.
After the pets received their blessing, Brandi and I stopped at Berripop for some celebratory frozen yogurt. We lounged on the patio as folks raised their eyebrows at my cat and his harness. Why is it perfectly normal to have a dog out in public, but a kitty companion is just crazy?
Brandi and I parted ways briefly to beautify ourselves and deposit our pets at their respective abodes. Then we reunited and went to the Wortham center for the Houston Ballet's production of Jewels. Our wonderful seats were complimentary thanks to the annual Free Night of Theater promotional event. Watching the dazzling performances of emeralds, rubies, and diamonds dancing and glittering across the stage was my kind of childhood dream!
After the curtain closed, I stopped by Amy's place for dinner and Korean drama. Javier and Max also joined in on the wining, dining, and subtitle reading. The menu included Chilean lemon chicken drumsticks, brussels sprouts with bacon, and yogurt tartlets. Yum!
While we stuffed our faces, we watched a couple episodes of
Coffee Prince on Hulu. The Korean show featured a cast of quirky characters who struggled with love, money, and gender identification. After just a couple hours of watching, I am practically addicted!

It is unusual to see a cat on a leash, but anyone familiar with Wentworth knows he's more like a dog than a cat. This, of course, is not the case with Kitty.
Those were prime seats at Jewels! And I had the best date!
Wentworth is so cute. I love that pic of him!
And what do you mean "practically" addicted?! I'm pretty sure you are completely addicted!!
