The next morning we got up bright and early to catch 9AM mass at St. Cajetan's, way down at 111th and Western. We took the El from Fullerton to 95th (2400 N to 9500 S) and caught the 95W bus from State to Western (0 E/W to 2400 W). We then walked from 95th down to 111th. That adds up to a very long way, so we woke up around 6AM. This was Todd's and my third year, with Ben missing the middle year when he was in Denver. The newbies this year were Keith and Kim.

The morning crew, minus me. Todd, Keith, Kim and Ben.

During mass, we met up with a friend from DePaul, Megan, and she drove us to her family's house where they offered us frosty beverages and corned beef. We were happy boys.

It was crazy in there. We later found out that basically everyone is only about two degrees seperated from the DeWitt's. And most of them showed up.

Keith bought a silly St. Patty's hat. I hope he enjoyed it. And Todd was a little overexposed. My bad.

Ben and I took an opportunity to pose with our dudded-out hostess. Thanks for the swell party Megan!

Ben was back to the grind the next day.
