A great thing about the party was that each child received an individual brightly-decorated cake and a present...last year was the first time that had ever happened for any of them.

All three monks got driver's licenses while living in Utica. I desperately wish I'd seen that driving test. Only U Gawsita feels comfortable driving in New York City, however.
