Where the heck is Fr. David, and why hasn’t he updated his blog???

I’m sick, or more accurately, ill. *Boo!!! Hiss!!!*

Actually, it’s my own fault. I’ve been working too hard and sleeping too little. Now, basically God has so designed me that I cannot do this for long. I have a pathetically weak constitution; I always have. If I don’t take care of myself then I get sick, and that slows me down for sure. So it’s been too many 18-20 hour days, and now I’m paying the price. So I got 4 bags of Cold-Ease or however you spell that stuff and I’m doing the major-hydration thing.

Other than that life is fine. The brides are mostly tamed (I’ve spoken to at least 20 over the last few days).

The hardest part for me is not being able to return phone calls. For example, there’s this one lady who has called me and wants me to call her back. Now I have tried to call her THREE TIMES. Once her phone was busy, and two times it just rang and rang. No answering machine *grrr*. So anyway, I have tried to get in touch with her, but from her perspective I’m an insensitive @*%!#. Oh, well, I’ve got to be detached from what I can’t control. If God wants me to be a @*%!# in this lady’s eyes then so be it.

So, there you go folks, a little window on the priesthood, at no additional cost, for mid-February!
