6:00 am - already afflicted with envy.........
Read Fr. Jim Tucker’s account of dinner with parishioners. I think my kids are Smart Kids, but just between you and me I can’t count on them behaving like Fr. Jim’s young parishioners. I’m sorely tempted to read them his post, saying, “Isn’t that charming?” - unspoken subtext - “Why can’t you guys make cogent comments like that?”

The way it stands now - no clergy invited to dinner until we can exorcise the tuna from the dinner blessing. ....it’s not nos et haec Tuna dona........ And any day now, Eddie will have given up on the humorous declamation of his state of being, such as “Pugno, ergo sum.”

Oh, well, in my dreams............
