- Woke up in my office recliner. Cleaned up, got dressed, and walked (through sidewalks covered in frozen slush) down to McD’s on South Grand for breakfast.
- Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Prepared readings and short homily for the Diocesan Council Mass.
- Celebrated and preached the Mass, keeping the feast of St Margaret of Scotland.
- Presided over the regular November meeting of Diocesan Council
- Got lunch with three council members at Boone’s Tavern.
- Attended an all-afternoon meeting of the diocesan trustees. We interviewed, serially, representatives of three investment management firms, and, after some discussion, made a decision.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
- Walked down Spring Street of Bernie & Betty’s for some dinner.
- Spent some time in contemplative prayer (as best as I can manage such a thing) in the cathedral. #Psalm131.
- Walked up to the Amtrak station at caught the 7:32 northbound Lincoln Service train to Chicago. Processed another thick stack of emails en route, and did a bit of reading.
