Well... staking out the desk and getting in line first seems to have paid off. I got an aisle seat in the exit row. Major score. Had to buy my way in, but it’s so much better than it could have been.
[whew]
OK, that was a little weird.
Just went to the later-in-the-day Mass here. We had a missionary priest this week — a Maryknoll priest, who also served as an Air Force chaplain for eighteen years.
He was my chaplain for half the time I was in Germany.
Small world.
I feel like someone just poured a big ol’ bucket of memories over top o’ my haid.
