What time on Sunday morning is the Byzantine Mass?

We had an interesting 'time' episode last night. We were working in the dining room, moving packing stuff out of the way, and we cut off early so we could go to 5:30 Mass. The clock in our bedroom read 4:16, so I though we had plenty of time. When I was done, Joseph took his shower, (we haven't finished work on the hall bath) then SirKit got in. Joseph was playing on his computer and said, Uh, Mom, it's 5:40! I was confused, because my clock said 5:15! Turns out, when I'd re-set my clock after the trip, I must have dreamed up some time or the other because it was TOTALLY wrong! Even my computer clock was wrong, because I'd set it after we got back from AL. I used a post on HH to get the correct time. ;o)

Well, at that point we were late for 5:30 Mass, but I remembered that a neighboring town had what I'd remembered as 7pm Mass. I checked their website, and it turns out they'd changed it to 6:30, but we still got there just in time for the opening hymn! Whew!

In other news, wife just called and said she'd lost all Internet connectivity in the house.

"What did you do?" asked I.

"I disconnected everything from the modem, (on the advice of the "help" desk from her company) and now I don't have Internet at all," said she.

I ~calmly~ explained that she had only needed to disconnect the power from the modem. And I managed to walk her through reconnecting everything correctly.

That said, Nana didn't feel up to going to the dr. today who would hopefully diagnose the issues with her hands.

And Luke had a "meltdown" at school. I don't think he's sick, just very tired.

It's a wonderful life...

They call it Divine Liturgy instead of Mass...though there are enough of us "Romans" who show up that either term works. ;-) It's at 10:30...typically if I stay for the social time afterwards, I don't get home until two or so.

A good place to go for correct time is http://www.time.gov which pulls a timetick from the Naval Observatory.

Interesting tidbit: The USNO has two main internal time servers: tick.usno.navy.mil, and tock.usno.navy.mil.

I thought that was cute. Tick and tock. :-)
