I picked up Basil at his Mom's house (it used to be my house, too.) and took him shopping for his first suit. Although he doesn't need won for when he work in America he will need one when he works in China. He chose a charcoal garbardine with black and dark brown window pane plaid, similar to this. It is being made right now and will be ready for fitting in 6 days. It should be finished a week after that. He is excited about graduating and starting his career.
I'm equally excited by the fact that while working on his internship he met a woman and she and my son have become close enough that she has invited him to spend Thanksgiving with her family. Basil said he is going to make the Cranberry-Walnut Pie to take to dinner. I warned him that it can sometimes not set up stiff enough and he should add a little flour or corn starch to the mixture before he pours it into the pie crust.
Oh, Anselm's wife has been schedulred for a C-section on the 12th. The doctors say the baby (Her name will be Elizabeth) is getting too big to deliver naturally.
Today after church Kathleen and I went to a new place. I might have mentioned the fact that Chicano parts of east San Jose are devoid of good places to eat, unless you want street tacos and super burritos, but today we found one that is very very good. It is Mexican but not the typical nothern Mexican beans, rice, and pinto beans. It is elevted Mexican food and it is amazing good. It is called Acopio and it is amazing good.
