A Good Time Was Had by All

I hate that phrase. It is very overused and technically not allowed in formal writing. Why did I choose to use it this time? Simply because I can.
The single's retreat in Ohio was great! I was the only guy there, but it was fun anyway. I met a lot of great people, some my age, some younger and some older. They are like me. Still single and not desperate about it. They've continued to work and function. They aren't boy crazy and neither are they bitter about their single status. We connected on several levels.
I'm glad to be back home. I miss this little town called Ocotlan. Indeed, home is where the heart is. Hopefully, some of the frenetic activity will settle down and I can relax a little. I seriously doubt it. When I do find an open place in my schedule, I'm always looking for some kind of church activity to fill it. Fortunately, I have some colleagues who help keep that tendency in check. Otherwise, I'd probably be working day and night and complaining about how much I have to do.
Anywhoo, thanks for stopping by to read what I write. I'll see you over on your site soon.

I was going to ask if it is difficult to counsel married couples when you are single yourself, but, now that I think about it, Catholic priests have been doing that for years.
The single get-together sounds like it was wonderful.
I too dislike the saying, "And a good time was had by all." It sounds like something from a small-town, bi-weekly newspaper story about the local fireman's barbeque. I also hate the word "feted." There's a whole lot of feting (sp?) going on in small-town newspapers!
