So, I’m back after about a week in Florida at the AG Bell conference. It was a great time: I learned quite a bit, had some fun, saw some former teachers/students, and spent a lot of money on hotel food. There were no protesters at the conference (disappointing, I know) because the conference was completely [...]

Heads up, I’ll be out for a few days. I might post a little, but I suspect I probably won’t. Depends on how many and what kind of protesters I see, or how the department chair reacts I tell her I want to be a priest. Have some charity and don’t burgle the place while [...]

Please don’t tempt me and contribute to the delinquency of an adult by offering discount tickets. I can’t even keep a straight face looking at the website, how could I maintain quiet respectfulness in person? I can’t.

School’s out until July and with my scheduled surgery (now cancelled) this week and “vacation” at the end of June, I’m off the EV schedule for June. Also, youth group is out for the summer. I’m not sure what to do with myself! Usually at this point on Sunday evening I’m avoiding the prospect of [...]

After reading Fran’s post on her second trip to Israel, I got to thinking about the last time I traveled anywhere. It was three years ago and I had gone with some other graduate students and professors from the department at the university. It was the end of a tumultuous year, but only a shadow [...]
confirmation weekend, part one

So, about this confirmation weekend thing. D came up late Friday night and after obtaining late-night munchies, we made the team decision to head to IHOP. Not the pancakes IHOP, the prayer IHOP. About this time I notice my stomach is a little off, but that’s not too unusual for me. Anyway, the idea of [...]

“I don’t know, I just keep thinking about what you said back in the seminary, how the life of a priest is hard and if you can see yourself being happy doing anything else, you should do that.” – Father Brian (Edward Norton), quoting Father Havel, Keeping the Faith There’s a little more that goes [...]

I need to find something else to do with my palms. I don’t have a garden in which to bury them, which is the conventional method. Why do I need to find somewhere else for my palms to be? Is it because they are yellow, splitting, and dried out? No. It’s because I keep finding [...]

I am now status-post retreat. I spent about three days knitting a baby blanket, reading books, napping excessively, chatting with new people, praying/wondering, and sewing rag dolls. And it was good, although I never again want to touch a rag doll for a poor child in Africa. I didn’t read nearly as much as I [...]

Alright, I got my car “situation” straightened out and I am blowing this popsicle stand. I’m assisting at a Mass (at least, as much as a lay person can assist at a Mass) at a retirement community tomorrow morning and then I am headed straight out of town and on to an Episcopal religious community [...]
