A diverse afternoon

April 26, 2009

I’m thinking of my diverse afternoon: set the sprinklers in the flower beds,  split a bottle of  Trappist Ale, watched the Cardinals lose … to the Cubs, some LeBron James … what an athlete, Talladega for a final lap wreck. Time for supper.

At Mass this morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about tomorrow’s talk at the prison.

I go with confidence

An article by Christopher Buckley in the New York Times Magazine is very much worth  reading. A mixture of laughter and sadness.

Tomorrow I will visit with a man who has an execution date of May 20. My intention is to visit him at least once per week until then. While not sure of what I will say, I go with confidence that our time together will be good.
