Happy St Patrick's day.  Ireland is now one of the only remaining "Catholic" countries left.  Congrats, guys.

Great retreat in West Va last weekend.  It turned out to be a retreat for the Catholic Women's Clubs so I was in the midst of a great many church ladies.  It was beautiful there--the quilts in the rooms were sewn by West Va. ladies, and the crucifixes carved by West Va carvers. They kept plying the retreatants with food and treats-- I walked into my room and found a packet of fudge, chocolate, cookies...I knew this would happen, but hadn't expected such a plethora of goodies so soon.  We also got ice cream on Saturday night.  The priest who led the retreat was great, and was a teacher so we learned a great deal. The topic was the Easter Triduum.  Yes,  Easter is coming, the feast that so confounds the secular world.  I might eat a  Cadbury cream egg in celebration. Maybe. They are so damn good.

Went to hospice for training.  It is a happy thing, hospice.
