Remembering my father on the 14th anniversary of his death. It feels now like another lifetime ago.

I got some much-needed work done to my deck today. Here’s before and after photos. Now I realize I may need some new deck furniture. And…I definitely need to paint that interior door and side panel.

Taking my students to the cemetery across from campus to write poems at dusk because it’s a beautiful night to be alive and writing poetry.

I think way too much about what I would do during the Purge.

One of the little pleasures in my life as a priest is to go the church on Saturday evening, mark the Gospel and lectionary readings, bless the holy water in the baptismal font, lay out my vestments and then light a bit of incense and pray Evening Prayer in the half-lit church.

So, I’m going to be inducted into the West Fargo High School Hall of Fame on Sept 20th.

Pretty much…

A great big thank you to the always-wonderful Beth DuFault for finding her priest this beautiful 1959 Lane cabinet, which looks amazing in my dining room! Look at that dovetailing! You deserve a finders fee for this one, Beth (now keep your eyes open for a Lane coffee table)

I’ll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of my ordination to the Priesthood tomorrow, Sunday, June 9 at St. Stephen’s in Fargo. If you’re in the area, come to the Mass of Thanksgiving at 11:00 am and/or the Open House following Mass from noon to 2:00 pm.

In a couple of weeks I’ll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of my ordination to the Priesthood.
