Al Ain Branch Times

(Sally, Fe, and the back of Maya's head)

This just in: Fe Bacchus is RSP, with Maya Shewell as counsellor. Josephine Orbiso is over Primary, with Wendy Penny and Sally Ylanan as first and second and also faculty and bottle washers. Sonia Orbiso delivered a beautiful little girl last week, and Jacob Orbiso named and blessed her this afternoon. She is called Johara Hailey Simsum Orbiso. That's wrong, especially the soup-sounding third name, but I'll correct it later. Anyway, beautiful little family, and a sweet moment for all of us. Dude has a fumanchu. Very Pirates-of-the-Caribbean.

White shirts: priesthood ratio was 5:6. Ties: batting 0.500.

Major incidents involving breakage or hyperkinetic tantrums: none.

Spirit of fellowship: priceless.

Again with the Mastercard commercials . . . .
