Today, I went with Will to his local church. He sings in the 'Mass Band' at the 12.30 Mass. We went a bit early because he had to rehearse. The Mass Band plays more contemporary music and has a kind of a folksy feel. During the rehearsal, I met a woman from Tyrone, who now lives in England. She was visiting her son in NJ. I sat with her during the Mass and she had some very interesting views on the Church in England. The band played some very nice songs.
After Mass, we rushed back to Will's place to make a skype meeting with Brendan, Tim, Peter, Mattie and Eric. After a quick chat, we headed back to the church for a BBQ to celebrate the Parish Priest being made a Monsignor. I had a tasty burger and a got a tour of Will's primary school. We went back to the house and relaxed for a while and chatted to Edmond on skype. I had dinner with Will's family and after dinner, we went to a cafe in Princeton. We had pumpkin lattes and had a nice chat. The cafe had a nice vibe. It was full of Princeton students studying or discussing various things. I felt like an Arts student again discussing life, philosophy etc.
In the evening we just watched some American Football with Will's brothers and then we finished off a film we were watching the previous day called "The Men who Stare at Goats". It is an okay film.
