Off on my adventure

When the alarm rang at 3:30 a.m. on Friday I have to say that I was not all that excited to be getting up and ready for departure. But, I got showered, dressed and ready to go. I said goodbye to my parents and drove to my brother's house where my car will be stored. He took me to the airport. Didn't even mind getting up so early because, as he said, he would have beaten his raquetball partners in a couple of games by the time I took off.

I made it to New York where the rain was coming down. My classmate, Fr. Tom Pettei picked me up and we headed into "The City." In the evening, we decided to go to Broadway for a show. By the time we arrived after our bus and subway ride we were soaked from head to foot. We got half price tickets to see "Curtains" which stars David Hyde Pierce (he played Niles in "Frasier"). It was great - fun story and music by the team that created "Chicago" and "Cabaret." By the time we came out of the theater the rain had stopped and we had a drier ride home.

Today we are heading to Connecticut to spend some time with another classmate, Fr. Kevin Royal. The sun is out, there is a breeze and it looks like it will be a great day.

Tonight, back in Winona, my successor will be installed as rector of the Cathedral and pastor of St. Casimir. My prayers will certainly be with him as he begins his ministry.

Today we began, as always, with prayer.  My liturgy group (made up of 6 of us) was responsible for leading today.  I took on the role of presiding at Morning and Evening Prayer.  Heading down for the latter shortly. We then headed back to St. Peter's for a tour of the excavations under the basilica.  I had done this when I was a student but it was every bit as fascinating as I remembered.  Our tour guide was a seminarian from Seattle who did an excellent job.  They are required to a lot of study and are tested and certified by the Vatican to be official guides.  Some of the men at the College in my time did this as well so it seems to be a well established tradition.  We began in the area that once was the Circus of Nero.  It had been a marshy area that was unused and Nero wanted to build a circus.  Since there was no more room in Rome proper he built it on the unused Vatican hill.  In the Circus was an obelisk that was later moved to the center of St. Peter's Square where

A beautiful Roman winter day

I am praying for all my family and friends back home as they endure what looks to be brutal weather.  Deep cold on top of the recent snow in some spots.  Today finally dawned bright and clear.  Still crisp but a beautiful day. I had a great birthday yesterday.  We had our first presentations and then the afternoon free.  I spent some time reading with a short siesta.  Love that tradition.  In the evening I went out with Msgr. Tom Cook from our diocese who is working over here for a couple of years.  We went to a nice restaurant that he recommended and had a terrific meal.  I had been saving some of my Roman favorites for my birthday so started out with Spaghetti alla Carbonara which is my favorite.  I remember thinking, when I first came over for studies in 1981 (yikes!), that I wasn't sure how I would survive on spaghetti and meatballs every day for the next four years.  Little did I know.  Such a variety and so many new favorites.  Today, of course, there are many Italian resta

My Weekend

It is now Monday and I thought I would post a quick update on our doings. Classes start tomorrow so I don't know what my time will be like. On Saturday we took the train into Brussels for a guided tour of the city. It was nice since the lousy weather kind of dampened my spirits for a lot of running around when I first arrived. We visited the Cathedral, the Grand Place, and the Royal part of the city. Brussels has a long history and many chapters in it. I would like to find a good book that goes through the history of this area. What little I have learned has been fascinating. We had beautiful, sunny weather. Temperatures were in the 50s so I thought it was great. All weekend and today have also been sunny and pleasant. Cool at night but nice during the day. Folks say this is unusual weather so I suppose we will be in for more rain and cold in the next few weeks. On Sunday we had a tour by the son of a couple who works at the College. He has lived in Leuven all his life
