oakland day two

The coffee is brewing. It smells great. As good of a cook as Jane is, brewing coffee is beyond her. She does not drink it, so she never bothered to learn how to brew a proper pot. Sarah is doing the honors. I do not know how nervous they are, but I am nervous for them.

I think I slept about 10 hours last night. I was that tired. My back is making me pay for being in bed that long, but boy howdy did I need it. We got home about 9:30...10:30 Chicago time. Trish and I arose about 5am to get to Midway on time. It was a long day. Dinner at Sarah's parents place was great.

I met the other officiant last night. She is an Episcopal priest here in the diocese. She knows the people I do. Small world syndrome. She is an interesting woman...climbed Mt. Rainier just a bit ago. When she's not presiding over east-facing liturgies, she is training for marathons. Wow. Too much talent. Very cool.

So, there is today's update. You can read more at Fiendish Plot and on Cautionary Tale. They are in town for the same wedding. I am off to read the peper in bed with Sarah and Jane and their dogs. It's a good house. It would be a perfect weekend if Trish were here.

I am at work.
I just received a call from the show "Politically Incorrect." They are looking for a psychologist who could talk about how many gay people are in heterosexual marriages. This is in response to the latest news of the New Jersey governor announcing that he is gay yet in a heterosexual marriage.

At the time of the phone call, I was working on a letter to a prison inmate who is gay hooked on drugs. He is confused and doesn't know where to go for help.

A person from Las Vegas writes me that she is in the health care profession and wants to do everything she possibly can to help & educate people, where does she start.

Then, I got my New York City Ballet catalogue.
Great! I had been waiting for that.

The world keeps a spinnin' doesn't it?
There's a lot going on. How to keep up with it all. Lots of people reaching out. How to help them all.

One person at a time, I guess.
