Wednesday

Still adjusting bodily to time zone whiplash, I was awake early and into the office before 8am. Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Made preparations to preside and preach at the cathedral midday Mass.
Dealt by email and text with detritus from yesterday’s Nashotah board meeting.
The Archdeacon having just returned from six weeks in Sicily, we had a lot to catch up on.
Met with the Communications Coordinator over a couple of website and database issues.
Left to take Brenda to a dentist’s appointment.
Talked with Paige a little more about the website and processed more Nashotah-related email.
Surveyed the resources available to me for seminarian aid. Made appropriate plans. Wish I had more. Blessed to have some.
Celebrated Mass in the cathedral chapel.
Picked up some BBQ ribs at HyVee and lunched on them at home.
Spoke by phone with the Dean of Nashotah House. Followed up with some emails.
Responded to an Ember Day letter from one of our seminarians.
Responded pastorally by email to a letter from a lay communicant of the diocese.
Closely reviewed our recently-revised diocesan canons to spot any tweaks that may be desirable. There are a few, but none so urgent that they need to be dealt with while we’re still catching our breath from the revision process. I set a reminder for next March to start vetting some possible changes.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
