Wednesday (James O.S. Huntington)

Usual weekday routine; MP in the cathedral.
Prepared to celebrate and preach the midday Mass.
Spent some quality time with the Provost, covering a range of issues.
Roughed out the third of my three quiet day meditations at St Stephen’s, Providence (RI) the weekend of III Advent.
Processed a short stack of emails.
Showed up for the noon Mass, but it failed for lack of a quorum. A quorum is two. Happily, this is not a very frequent occurrence.
Grabbed some grub from La Bamba and took it home to eat. Remained home for the afternoon.
Worked on my homily for III Advent (in Providence). It’s now at the rough draft stage.
Researched video-conferencing platforms for an upcoming conference call.
Packed for two nights away. Hit the road with Brenda at 4:20 for points north.
Stopped in at OSF St Joseph Hospital in Peoria to look in on Fr Brian Kellington. He is much improved, and may already have been moved to a rehab unit (after two weeks on a ventilator) by the time you are reading this. Then, up IL29 along the right bank of the Illinois River to the facility where Bishop Donald Parsons resides. We had a very nice visit with him as well.
We moved on then to Bloomington, where we are bedding down for the night ahead of continuing northward to Palatine for Martins family Thanksgiving tomorrow.
