Thursday 6:00 AM: Online Day

 As always I’m blessed with a nice sunrise view.

Thursday, for now, will be my daytime online teaching day.  That is, I won’t take BSD bookings and just teach online.

So, at 6:30 AM, I’ll be talking to an IELTS student in Xinjiang.

Wednesday 9:00 PM Better Late than Never

 A cloudy day but she’s warming up.

I did my taxes on paper.  I wasn’t able to file them online because I wasn’t for some reason. Damn bureaucracy.  Mailed them out yesterday.

How has my sub teaching been going?  Well. I can’t say.

I got my third rosary:

Its beads are strictly used for praying the Hail Marys. The silver pendants are used for praying the Our Father. I will need to get the Rosary blessed.

George Fitton School

 The tree is obscuring the George Fitton School lettering.

I forgot to take a view photo this Wednesday morning. So. Later.

Last night was the last meeting of my RCIA group.  Maybe I will participate in a Book group next.  The last class did present some challenges for me to practice my faith.  I do need to practice the virtues more towards other people.  I forget about Tony sometimes.

Online wise:  Xinjiang, Alberta, Spain, Ontario, Chile.

Tuesday 6:12 AM: Accomplishing

 At 5:15 AM, one of my early AM contacts said he wanted to go back to bed.  I agreed with me, but now I am thinking that there is Accomplishing to be accomplished.

Monday 7:00 AM: Erickson Misc.

 Monday. Get my taxes done day.  Cross my fingers I can submit it with no hitches day.

Here is a compilation of driving video from Saturday.

I took an image of this barn on Sunday.  It is not too far from Erickson.

It is blurry but I hope you can read what the barn says.

And here is how I’m doing on Duolingo.

Erickson Turn Off

 Going north on the #10, you turn left to get on Erickson’s main drag.

Sunday 9:00 AM Mass

 I sat on the side pews so I could receive Communion earlier and then drive to Erickson.

Father Oliver’s homily theme was silence; so as I drove to Erickson, I didn’t listen to music.  I turned off the car’s music player and enjoyed the view along the #10 Highway.

Sunday 6:15 AM

 Geez. Another Trump assassination attempt.  Will it change the political situation?  I doubt it.  After a few days, it will be forgotten about because of the events in Iran and people’s short attention spans.

Was it real? Was it staged?  If it was staged, its purpose would have been to rally Trump supporters and former Trump supporters around him.  I doubt that as my previous paragraph shows.

Any who. I have a 7:00 AM online class.  The assassination attempt will be a nice conversation topic.  Then I go to Mass. Hopefully, I will then arrive in Erickson by 11:00 AM.

Driving to Brandon from Erickson

 

Start from the bottom and go up for correct chronological order.

Erickson: Leda Lake

 I had a nice walk in Erickson but I was underdressed for the weather.
