catch-up time

You know how things pile up when you're away? Well, I was away for almost three weeks, so...

Not only am I playing "catch-up" with myself, we are also in a huge transition as a community, welcoming a new superior. She has to become acquainted with the lay of the land, the various alarm codes, bookstore procedures, employee names, location of churches, all the while negotiating the "welcome" and "farewell" goings on. Naturally, we are all a part of this.

And I am preparing a talk on new media resources for teaching the Liturgy of the Word to children, and guess what? Most of the companies that used to make catechetical media aren't really doing much any more. So I am putting together some ideas of my own. In between stuff. Because next week the Knights of Columbus will descend upon Chicago, so we want to have a sign to welcome them--even though our side of the sidewalk on Michigan Avenue is under some work and so not very welcoming to pedestrians. In between other things, as well, of course! Such is life.

Next week I also go home to see my family and celebrate with them my Mom and Dad's Golden Anniversary!

Somehow, everything always comes together in the end.
