OK, so I fell through on keeping this together. But here's news ... I'm on the loose again. Yes, this is coming to you from Jyvaskyla, Finland. I arrived yesterday (Monday, 12 January) and will be here for a week before moving on to Einisedeln, Switzerland for a week.
The short version of the story is that back in July when I was home for my Jubilee Celebration, I asked the Abbot if I could see Finland and Switzerland in winter. And he said yes. So here I am ... spending time with my Godson, Drew, and his parents Barbara and Steve. Then I will be at the Motherhouse for the Solemnity of Saint Meinrad. I return to Indianapolis on Monday, 26 January.
So there are a few things to catch up on, and I hope to do that while here.
In the meantime, suffice it to say that my trip over this time was far less eventful than the first time >Julian went on the loose ... no long delays of sitting on the tarmac for hours. While the planes were full )PACKED, actually) everything was pretty much on schedule. It was, however, a VERY long trip ... flying Indy to Chicago to Munich to Helsinki, then three hours by train to Jyvaskyla.
Unfortunately, the winter wonderland of Finland is a slushy mess right now, as they have had a solid day of rain with temperatures just above freezing. But it's supposed to get cold again this week, so hopefully there will be snow.
So for now, pass the word that Julian is on the loose again and stay tuned.
