It's been a while...here's an overdue batch of random observations.
- My dad found two typos in my January newsletter. (They were corrected online, of course, so you won't find them, but I don't think anyone else caught them before they were printed.) I never do that, so it's a memorable event.
- In another small-world moment, a woman from Gol, who is one of my WELCA ladies, has a daughter who lives in the Kansas City area and attends the same church as my brother and sister-in-law. When she was there for a visit at Christmas, she figured out that the Dayla Jertson listed in the prayer concerns in the bulletin must be my niece.
- I did it again, and it's always at Holden! Wine on the alb, but much less disastrous than last time. Somehow I managed this without even touching the chalice. You'd think a tray of pre-filled glasses would be safe, but there were a few drops lurking on the edge of the tray. Fortunately they didn't even really sink in so they were easy to remove.
- December mileage: 1,724 total (943 for work). A lot of it was my trip home. January mileage: 1,444 total (974 for work). The monthly totals are creeping upward.
- Super-excited about the noticeably lengthening days. There may be a light at the end of the snow tunnel.

Amanda -- When were you at Holden? I just got back from the women's retreat weekend. Puts a whole different spin on what I think of as "retreat". Talk about non-stop action!
Chris, I didn't mean Holden Village. Holden is the name of one of my congregations...founded 1856 so not named after Holden Village. :-) Sorry for the confusion. I added a link to clarify. Hope you had a fantastic time at the retreat. It sounds exciting!
Amanda -- Well, if I paid more attention to detail, I'd have figured that out. But the retreat was great -- noisy, but great. I've never been to camp before..and now I have. ;-} Elizabeth Felt was the bible study leader. And we had an interesting study group: in addition to the expected assortment of Lutherans, we had a woman who is Quaker, and a young man (Roman Catholic) who is studying for chaplaincy at Boston College and doing his residency year at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago this year. So *lots* of perspectives.
