My aunt turned 90 years of age on Saturday. Her husband is likewise turning 90 this year, but all the fanfare was for her. I attended the festivities with beloved kin.
I took my mother to Saint Benedict Church for Mass on Sunday morning. I knew it would be a pretty parish, being in an old part of the city next to the Virginia Museum of Fine Art and the Virginia Historical Society. It not only is beautiful, but the Mass was traditional and the cantor and organist were superb.
[The mural is above the altar at St. Benedict. If you sit forward, the Christ is high above with Joseph and Mary below as well as five saints I believe to be Augustine, Gregory the Great, Benedict, Jerome, and Ambrose.]

TQ: Thanks for visiting our blog. Yes, you are correct, those are the five saints in the mural. How did you find us? - Brother Stephen
I surfed for information on St. Benedict parish, and your link to the OctoberFest booted up. Keep up the good work.
My blog was born of my depression about world affairs after 9/11. Recently, I have concentrated less on my own intellectual and political interests on religious and cultural postings of my blogging friends. I wish I could be the Anchoress, and my ego wants to be Instapundit. Instead, I'll keep up a little Catholic cultural conversation going in my little corner of the blogosphere.
Ora et labora, TQ
When I Google St. Benedict Parish Richmond, I get nothing (for at least three pages).
I'm glad you found us because I have found you. I added B2K to our blog roll.
I know what you mean about blogging. I write three, and I only maintain one with daily posts (usually more) because I get paid for that one. I used to be able to do a daily post at RealCatholicBlog.com, but events and work have conspired against that type of schedule. But I hope to return to more frequent blogging there soon.
I might have searched with Yahoo or Bing or AVG. Blogging is a hobby. I wish someone would pay me to do it, though I bet the going rate is not lucrative. Glenn Reynolds has turned blogging into a little industry of $40,000 or so per year in ad revenues plus visibility for himself as a law professor and libertarian advocate.
Perhaps you remember Harry Chapin's song "Mr. Tanner."
