It was not a terrible night. Compared to the one at St. Mary’s, where the TV was broken and the teckie made me stop reading at 9:45pm, so we could start; Gail, my caregiver, said, “No honey, I just want you to do like you normally do when you go to bed” So I got to watch “The Good Wife” and then put the sleep button for 30 minutes and then I was out before the 30 minutes.
However, my sister, Maggie, with whom I sometimes share a hotel room use to assure me that I didn’t snore – that I purrrrred! Well Gail says I snore. So it looks like I will join the growing list of CPAC people. I’ll just wait for my doctor to arrange for that.
So I was up at 6:30 and went to the cafeteria for breakfast – included in the study! and then headed home. I had the 11am Mass and then rushed over to the St. John Vianney House, where my “retired,senior priests, elderly priests” group meets on the first Wednesday of the month. It is always so nice to see Fr. Tom Kane, Fr. John Brady, Msgrs Ranieri, Bazan (oh, I just realized that Tom and John are Monsignors also. John Hurley and Bishop Olivier were there also. We laugh, catch up on the news and have a great dinner. Today we went long and broke up around 1:30pm. I came home and had another interview for Confirmation. They are such a delight! Then I went to visit a parishioner who is bed ridden and wanted a priest to stop by. We had a delilghtful visit. She is originally from Johnstown, Pa. and is 88 years young.
I will do a little more work on my Christmas letter and then head back to the rectory. It is still light out and not as breezy.
Sounds lke this Christmas letter might be a book!!!
