Wednesday (Robert Grosseteste)

Customary weekday AM routine (augmented for a few days by the chore of going up to our daughter’s apartment on the third floor and feeding her cat–formerly Brenda’s–while she’s vacationing in New York).
Did the finish work on this Sunday’s homily (edit, refine, print, place output in car, schedule for posting on both blog iterations).
Continued email correspondence with a priest from outside the diocese who is interested in one of our openings.
Followed up on a handful of relatively small administrative tasks.
Turned my attention to (another relatively small) matter pertaining to next week’s annual synod of the diocese.
Lunched on leftovers.
Drafted a publicity blurb for next month’s annual clergy conference. Vetted it via email with the presenter. Traded emails with the Administrator about the registration process.
Took another look at the synod Mass booklet and sent it off to the host parish for printing.
Burned through another handful of small administrative items–some requiring an outgoing email, some not.
Took a robust walk with Brenda on a quintessential October afternoon in the midwest–bright sunshine, cool enough to be clearly no longer summer, yet not at all unpleasantly cold. Our route took us through a lovely nearby nature preserve area.
Made a first drive-by of the propers for the Last Sunday after Pentecost, in preparation for preaching at St Andrew’s, Carbondale on November 24.
Evening Prayer in our domestic chapel.
