I only come around here 2 or 3 times a week but it seems like Fridays are always one of those days so here are today's friday five: If you...
1. ...owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve? Mexican, hombre.
2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell? That's easy since it's been Brian's pet dream - a Catholic bookstore/ coffee shop.
3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be? A non-fiction book relating all the funny stories of growing up in a household of 11. Although some book stores may mistake it for science fiction.
4. ...ran a school, what would you teach? It's a tie. One would be for Preschoolers. They are so great at this age and (usually) still have their innocence and take in all you have to teach like a sponge. The second would be a School of Parenting, teaching Catholic parents the incredible responsibility of their job. Lessons could include everything from how to change a diaper for the first time to how to make your home a domestic church or how to grow in holiness as a parent and spouse.
5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it? Okay, supposing I actually had a voice worthy of a place other than the shower or the car I'd record an album with soul searching lyrics and "alternative" feel. Not a fluffy pop hit nor screaming angst and anger, just the right blend of "edge" and beauty.

come set up your Catholic bookstore/ coffee shop up here in my neck of the woods, if you can stand to leave Carmel! We so need something like that.
