"I hear your son's in town," said Nancy to Noylene as she made her way to our table. Sundays were usually Noylene's day off, but she was filling in for one of the other waitresses. I was sitting glumly at the "after church" table with Meg, Beverly Greene and Georgia Wester. Nancy, dressed in her new black motorcycle leathers, joined us, but apart from our little group, the place was empty.

Noylene was beaming. "He got in last night. He'll be stopping by in a little bit."

"Why so gloomy?" Nancy asked. "I thought I'd come in and show off my new duds, but you guys look pretty much down in the dumps."

"Church business," Bev said. "I do like your outfit, though."

"Rob Brannon has been made 'parish administrator,'" Georgia added.

"I don't trust that guy as far as I could throw him," said Nancy, joining our circle of dejection.

"And you've got a pretty good arm," I said. "I know what you mean. I've got a bad feeling about him, too. Can't put my finger on it though."

"Well, we've been through worse," Meg said. "Just remember back to this time last year."

We all looked at her, trying hard to remember last year's sacramental angst.

"The Wimmyn's Conference?"

We all silently nodded and took a unison sip of our coffees.

"Mother Ryan? And the sex dolls?"

We sipped again.

"So, this too will pass," said Meg, hopefully.

We nodded once more, all of us staring down at the table in a picture of dejection.

"And he might not be bad at all." Meg wasn't convincing any of us.

"Nothing we can do anyway," said Bev. "So let's look on the bright side. Maybe he'll get everything running smoothly."

"Maybe," said Georgia.

"Maybe," said Meg.

"In a pig's eye," I snarled.
