Thursday

No heat in my office (due to furnace replacement) in the AM + snow and ice in the PM = a day working from home. With a little planning, and a reliable internet connection, there’s really no lost productivity.
Morning Prayer in the family room.
Fleshed out, refined and polished my working notes for the third of four addresses I will deliver at the ECW retreat next month.
Replied to a couple of email queries that have been in the chute for a couple of days.
Weight & treadmill workout, shower, lunch (leftover homemade chili).
Dealt via email with some pending matters pertaining to the Communion Partners bishops and the Title IV “amici.”
Laid the foundation and erected some of the infrastructure for the fourth of five retreat addresses I will give to the priests of the Diocese of Albany in April.
Produced a first draft of what will be a fairly major pastoral letter to the diocese on the subject of Confirmation and Reception.
Kept an eye on the weather and road conditions all evening, trying to discern the fate of tomorrow morning’s scheduled Diocesan Council meeting. Still up in the air.
