Wack ass prices, your could probably do better in Olive Garden, and they say to buy local

I don't know of any nearby Olive Garden locations

Not beating the stereotypes

October 30th, 2026: The gala today, I woke up and had cereal for breakfast while my mean cat was bugging me for milk. I got back upstairs and got dressed up and also packed for heading to the apartment, I drove to the post office for the passport renewal where I filled out some forms and then had my picture taken. We drove back and I had the other half of my reuben sandwich for lunch and the coleslaw that came with. I took more pictures of my nice cat:

My mom taught me how to iron dress shirts and pants, telling me that she remembers her mom would watch television while ironing I got everything in the Volkswagen and then I had my mom insist on shining my shoes before I left at 3:05pm, I drove about halfway there when I got a call from my dad at 3:56pm congratulating me on getting his car for now and I told him a bit about the gala, the call lasted roughly 11 minutes. I got to the veteran building at 4:30pm and saw all the people there. I got on Twitter and noticed a message from an account saying:
<I had a feeling I knew you in real life. You're Gemerson. [link to my tweet]
It was Warner’s Twitter account, he even showed me a tweet of his that had me in it, from the time when we went to a Brewers game and we tailgated beforehand. I walked around the park before entering the gala at 5:00pm, I checked in and got a brochure with my name on it and a number (136) and went to my table then to the bar. I ordered a coke and amaretto with the free drink ticket I got, I got ID’d but I’m 23 so it’s no biggie, the second person to arrive was the Kenoshan and he talked a bit with another person about not going to the TLM in Kenosha, Wisconsin because it’s at 12:00pm. I spotted this cute woman running a raffle for Christmas tree ornaments, I talked with her a bit and she’s from Chicago, Illinois but she’s been to the Sacred Heart Retreat Center and when Adam II and his fiancée came in, Adam II said hi to the volunteer. The volunteer told me she is a cradle Catholic versus me being a revert, she mentioned an “orthodox bishop” that she said was dating herself by bringing him up because she thought he was relevant to me. I thought it was a Byzantine Catholic priest, but nope. It’s bishop Robert Charles Morlino who died in 2018 =(. She meant orthodox as in theologically sound, not Eastern Orthodox. I went back to talk with more people here like Loid, Yor who came with a date at a separate table, we went over the items in the silent auction and saw this one art sewn by a member of the Z family ubiquitous to the county I live in. The collection of 10 wine bottles I was interested in yet we had to do a silent auction for it. We got started with the salads and I loved the raspberry vinaigrette they had. We learned about the history of the Sacred Heart Retreat center, being that the mortgage was $2,000,000 (already paid off) it’s start in September 2025 for hosting retreats, and they’re doing a fundraiser where if you give $50,000 over the course of a lifetime, you can get a painting of a saint in a dedicated retreat room. Bonaventure told a story of him mentioning a walnut allergy that made the abbot enthusiastic to stab someone, even if it was with an epi-pen. I informed Adam II he was outbid for the wine collection and he thanked me. Our dinner was roasted salmon with capers and a lemon, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I got another drink, this time a cabernet red wine, and then bidding started. Our table agreed for the bidding that we’d focus for the live auction on the large group items like cajun dinner for 12 at the retreat center. Loid offered to do the bidding for the live auction and it was instantly ruined by all the items starting at $1,000 and going up in increments of $500, including an opportunity for dinner not listed in the page for dinner at our church with our older French priest. It sold for above $3,000. Nobody at our table won anything but Adam II got a deal stuck for the silent auction wine collection that he could get a bottle from another guy if he stopped bidding. I also overheard that last year, Yor won a bag for her niece. I knew Loid and Yor had at least one more sibling but nothing about Yor being an aunt. I left at 8:30pm to drive home and shook the hands of all the people at my table, I went a long way and arrived home at 9:30pm finding a decent place to park and take stuff in. On my first trip back I drove the car closer to my apartment and then got the ironing board in and the smoking skeleton chair from Helga:

Waleran was content with it. I started day 40 of my 40 day rosary for life at 10:17pm in the shower and completed the final Glorious mystery at 10:39pm, I watched the new episode of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure with the start of the Tusk arc, fun fact: Pork Pie Hat Kid (villain of the arc) does not wear a pork pie hat, I looked those up. I then dozed off.

Good to see you had a good time, also that dinner sounds way better than the food they usually serve at these fancy gatherings, or at least the ones I've attended

I continued messaging Alyce at 7:51pm:

Why are you still in touch with her, I read your earlier blogposts about her and she seemed to be very inconsiderate plus she has a BMI of 39 in an Ozempic world
