- Responded (in Spanish) to a new email message Bishop Jorge Aguilar of our companion diocese of Peru.
- Contacted (via email) the priest in a parish where I’m scheduled to be on a Sunday in January just to touch base on some of the details of the visitation.
- Took an incoming phone call from a priest from outside the diocese who was (benignly) seeking some information about someone inside the diocese.
- After looking at a couple of other examples of the species, mentally charted a course toward an extemporized homily on the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, this Sunday at St Barnabas’, Havana.

- Lunch from La Bamba, eaten at home.
- One of my big responsibilities as Chair of the Nashotah House Board of Directors is to lead an annual performance review of/for the Dean & President. Toward that end, I spent a good chunk of my afternoon reviewing a handful of articles on the subject and composing an email to my fellow directors proposing a methodology for moving ahead with the process.
- Read and responded to an Ember Day letter from one of our postulants.
- Took care of another couple of bits of administrivia by email.
