fait accomplis

Yes! The first complete manuscript of the translation is now at the foot of the tabernacle, with the Founder's relic looking on, as a gesture of supplication that the project will do immense good.
I still have a lot of work to do on it, but now it is a matter of fine-tuning and finding the typographical hiccups. Mere details. Hundreds of them, but details, nonetheless.
And I was able to go with Sr. Helena and two friends from the Art Institute to see the move "Stolen," about the art thefts at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston. I was in Boston when the robbery took place; the sisters had just visited the museum, and were so enthusiastic about it, and then poof, some of its greatest works were ripped away. The movie was quite interesting, because it brought you face to face with professional art thieves as well as the professional stolen art "detectives."  Worth seeing. Probably at an art theater near you.
