Thursday (St James DeKoven)

• Got going just a teeny bit slowly this morning, given my late arrival from a trip last night. Morning Prayer, eventually, in the cathedral, after debriefing with the Diocesan Administrator over an ... administrative situation that has gotten a trifle sticky.
• Plowed through the stack of snail mail on my desk, and did my usual weekly scanning chores.
• Took a phone call from one of our clergy over another "sticky" administrative/pastoral situation.
• Worked on the final session of my Lenten series in Alton, which happens next Wednesday. 
• Had a phone conversation with yet another parish priest over yet another sticky administrative/pastoral situation. It was one of those days.
• Lunch from La Bamba ("Burritos as Big As Your Head!"), eaten at home.
• Got a haircut.
• Processed an extraordinarily long stack of emails, clearing some on the spot, creating future tasks for others.
• After dinner, packed for tomorrow's trip to Orlando for the consecration of the next Bishop of Central Florida on Saturday.
