Red Mass

So tomorrow is the first day of the new term of the U.S. Supreme Court...so today St. Matthews Cathedral had its Red Mass. Teresa (one of the interns I work with) and I went and it was awesome! The cathedral was beautiful and the service was amazing too! Oh...so what is Red Mass? It is the mass that honors all people judicial on the Sunday before the first Monday of October. (This is because the first Monday of October is the first day of the new term in the U.S. Supreme Court) Okay...so we got there almost 45 minutes before the service and we still had to stand!! Why you ask...because people such as Chief Justice Roberts and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court were present, many Congressmen and Senators, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and other "high profile" people. When we left the Cathedral I felt famous with the mass of media on the street...come to find out they were there for the important people who drove away in the black vehicles with tinted windows...ha!

DC Tip #4: Do grocery shopping in small shifts!! Walking four blocks with heavy grocery bags is not a good idea and the purple fingers that are a result are not the best either! So shop in shifts and stick to light weight food!
