I forgot to mention, this is an opus dei priest.
I'm fully aware that anything I say will sail over his head.
Just like anything he says will have zero impact on me.
It's a nice opportunity to spend the late afternoon in a cooler place than my home, and to meet a new person... If my off-topic skills work decently, we'll be talking about travelling or the weather or my job for the most part... :p
Nts, we had such a pleasant event all dreamed up and you just had to come in with your reality and ruin it for everyone. I wish you never told us about that priest!

In any case we all want to know how it went!

Just back from Pride. Huge crowd. 100,000 expected, or so I thought. Pretty much the same ol' mix of churches, businesses, fire/rescue/police, and some local miscellaneous LGBT groups. Fun time, though.
I wish people would not be afraid to ask me to move out of the way instead of literally nudging me over so that I ironically lose balance.
Shoulder is getting better but not completely good.
It's 1:00pm.

Come to think of it... not even Newton had any idea about it...
This turning one element to another, which we can do with fusion and fission, was beyond them. 
Oh... we can do alchemy, now!

Irony: yeah we can totally do Alchemy now, Isaac. But turns out it's cheaper to just buy the gold...
