We returned from our vacation trip on Sunday and since then we’ve gotten back into the routine: eat, sleep, work, and pet the cat. Pet the cat. And pet the cat some more. Rileycat is an affectionate cat on any given day, but after we return from an absence, he becomes a LOVEMONGER. He is like movable kitty velcro. He likes nothing better than to be incessantly juggled into a little ball and held and stroked and cooed over (various songs are required.

The Christian Century reports on the very complicated situation in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area, where a series of splits amongst former Episcopalian parishes are laid out pretty fairly. What’s odd is that the writer doesn’t reference the new bishop of Chicago, only quoting or interviewing our retired Bishop, William Persell. But it’s apparently not completely about Teh Gays.

We just got thru security at BWI for our flight home and I stupidly forgot to put my sunscreen in my checked baggage. It’s a Hawaiian brand, smells relish and feels great on the skin. Have to order more when I get a chance. Grrrrr. Otherwise it’s been a really fun trip.
