DAY 102

O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live in and the life
we live: Watch over those, both night and day, who work while others sleep,
and grant that we may never forget that our common life depends upon each
other's toil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

+ + + + +

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and
give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ;
give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the
afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen.

From the Book of Common Prayer

DAY 330

DAY 90

Wow, 90 days since the robbery. In some ways it seems like an eternity, in others it seems as though it were just yesterday. In comparison to the last robbery it's not so traumatic -- maybe you just get used to it.

DAY 329

DAY 89

The Germans say "wer die Wahl hat, hat die Quall," or "whoever has a choice has the pain of making it." Sometimes it's easier to have to no choice. Or at least more comfortable.

IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO TODAY...

...that John Lennon was murdered. I'd like to think I've moved on, just not sure in which direction.

DAY 328

DAY 88

Today is the feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day.

THE ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS

A story we read in 4th grade: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_the_Blue_Dolphins

Today is the feast of St. Nicholas:

WEEK 14

Market up, temperatures colder and colder, gas prices about the same but I hear they're about to go down. Tired a lot and some pain. DC Mayor-elect Vincent Gray had his wallet stolen and at least one of his cards used. Needless to say they tracked down the woman.
