Really – this was great. Theology on Tap, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Young Adult Ministry. Well over a hundred folks on the bottom floor of an Irish pub – totally engaged with the matters at hand, great questions, wonderfully kind!

And guess what? I met Rocco! He exists! And he doesn’t look anything like his picture…

Also met Susan Peterson and her daughter, Ann P. and Kate P. and Ian and Julie and Rosie and lots of other great people. There were several priests there, diocesan and order. Great turnout. That YAM office is evidently doing a great job.

Only snag: We all got in the car (in our motel in Cherry Hill. Why Cherry Hill? So we wouldn’t be driving through Philadelphia when we headed to DC in the morning), Michael turned the key to the ignition and…the dreaded clickclickclick. Luckily, I was able to get in touch with the coordinator of the office, Rosie, who dispatched someone to get me, and a very kind blog reader and her husband and students transported me back.

So…we hope we’ll be heading to DC in the morning….
