I walked-ran this morning, not pushing myself for any particular time, just making sure I got my miles in. Then I made coffee and ate my fruit, cleaned up and dressed, joined Morning Prayer, held public office hours at R&R while working on a sermon for tomorrow’s wedding, picked up groceries at Waitrose, came home, finished the newsletter cover piece, and now am preparing for this evening’s wedding rehearsal.
I fell behind in reading RSS feeds, with the predictable feed-debt-guilt, so I missed a couple of weeks of Dave and Chris (especially) and Alan Jacobs. I think I have satisfactorily shriven myself, and I have a plan for dealing with future backlogs, so I may be better gin weeks to come. And if any of the rest of the old gang picks up again, I’ll try to find and add them.
Hey there. Thanks for following along with me. We’ve had a rough week with the death of my beautiful mother in law. It was a lovely and peaceful death. Just the one I want too.
The last little while has been one of those periods of existential growth in my work and perspectives on things so I’ve been writing a bit about that this spring and summer.
Hey, Chris — I’m saddened to hear of your mother-in-law’s death. Lovely and peaceful is good, and death will come eventually, but it brings sadness.
I have a couple of subscriptions that I just have to kick out of my feed reader, feeds that are very good but which generate a lot of little or technical posts, a sizeable proportion of which don’t interest me at all. Plus, part of my brain seems to associate feeds with the social media that I’m always fighting to minimise as an aspect of my day. But I’m a better netizen if I keep up with friends, especially long-time friends, and RSS helps with that.
