For Ryan: How about "friend" (which means it's nobody's business), "companion", or "mate" (which has a Naval flair)?

I suppose I should clarify that I get frustrated with all the different terms i.e., "domestic partner", "life partner", "lover" (that one really makes me cringe), "boyfriend", none of which I particularly like.

Therefore, I've settled on "domesticated partner", which I think is actually quite appropriate.

I would love further explore Lackawanna! I usually only go there with out of town visitors. Wait, does that sound strange, to be taking tourists to Lackawanna? We go to the Botanical Gardens, and then walk over to the Basilica.

One time, I dragged my domesticated partner to Daisy's Cafe at the corner of South Park and Ridge. I thought the food was pretty good, but he won't go back because he was freaked out by the people at the next table who were praying. Another time, we went to the Basilica with my mother, and she splashed holy water in his face when he wasn't looking.

Your uncertainty about the identity of St. Michael the Archangel/St. Gabriel reminds me of the most recent time I was at the Basilica with my mother. First, she shortchanged the candle donation box, because that was all the cash she had on her. Then she walked over to the statue of St. Ann, set down the candle in front of her, and said, "I'm going to put this candle here, in front of Mary."

Ewww, that sounded like fun, fun, fun! I will admit that I got a few chuckles from the trip too but as I have said before, those funny little messes you always get into are what life worth living, lol. And the poor 'bathroom lady' has now beem immortalized with her deed!

Great photos!
