I am a reporter, & also own a small ranch. This blog was started to give me the opportunity to express things I couldn't in print, especially on spiritual matters. In this way, I neither compromise my journalistic objectivity, nor step on any professional toes.

20040829 :::
22nd Sunday in Ordinary time
Early…very early
Yesterday, ate a late lunch with "Emilia" over at Harper’s place. We both had the barbecue, & I must admit it was pretty good. But that’s not why we got together…
Last time I had spoken with her was before the summer. She had been having some health problems & she was worried about her mom, but other than that things seemed better than they had in a while, or at least they were getting better. Well, she met some Irish guy over the summer, & has fallen head over heels in love with him. She was asking me for romantic advice (what a joke!) as the 2 lovers now live in separate continents, as he’s back in Ireland. Her phone doesn’t even except international calls, so she must call him from pay phones when talking with him. I met him very briefly when she brought him in my establishment a few weeks ago, but unfortunately it was a busy time & I didn’t have much of a chance to get to chat with him & I had to cancel a previous dinner engagement with them (again, due to work, when Yvonne was in Sweden), so I really didn’t get to know him. Emilia won’t be seeing him again until December, so she has all fall to carry a particularly powerful torch. She also wants to fix me up with her mother, but I hope that she understands that’s not going to happen.
Have been not doing the Liturgy of the Hours for the last week. Plan on getting back into a regular sort of rhythm with it again.
