To: Kathy in Alaska
And a Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours, Kathy! Today was a good day - not productive - had to take both David and John-Man to work, do a little shopping, etc. We had colossal steamed shrimp for dinner this evening.

It looks as though I'll be back to work this Tuesday for a short project - have a couple of longer gigs in the hole.

It sounds as though you and your Mom had a grand day. It's great that you still have your Mom - you must hold onto her and cherish her!



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

HOLY SONNET XIV
For Trinity Sunday



BATTER MY HEART, three person'd God; for, you
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend,
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow mee, and bend
Your force, to breake, blowe, burn and make me new.
I, like an usurpt towne, to another due,
Labour to admit you, but Oh, to no end,
Reason your viceroy in mee, mee should defend,
But is captiv'd , and proves weake or untrue.
Yet dearely I love you, and would be loved faine,
But am betroth'd unto your enemie:
Divorce mee, untie, or breake that knot againe,
Take mee to you, imprison mee, for I
Except you enthrall mee, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish mee.

John Donne

We can’t always have productive days, but a GOOD day is almost as good. d:o)
