Intentionally slow start to the day … MP and task planning at home … in office by mid-morning …. dashed off a note of condolence to a colleague bishop who has suffered the loss of a loved one … polished, fine-tuned, and printed my homily for this Friday’s ordination of a transitional deacon … digested the content of and responded to a substantive email … made air, car rental, and lodging arrangements for my February DEPO visit to Holy Communion, Charleston (SC) …. scanned a substantive amount of hard copy — swang by St John’s Hospital to look in on one our priests, who had major surgery yesterday …. home by mid-afternoon.
