2026 Reads: When Women Were Dragons A Novel by Kelly Barnhill 📚
Had a very encouraging mutual ministry review tonight with our vestry, rector, and deacons. I have been on difficult church leadership boards before. This is NOT one of them. Good, kind folks working earnestly to serve our community and each other. ⚓️
Today felt like the calm before the storm. Tomorrow and Tuesday: busy busy. Then: 2 days of driving, 3 days of graduation festivities, 3 more days of driving, 2 days of move-in, and then fly home. Will drive 2k miles in the next 2 weeks. Should just pre-schedule the chiropractor for when I get home.

2026 Reads: To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis 📚
Wasn’t too sure about this one but the last few chapters redeemed it.
Home after my week-long trip and seem to have picked up a cold. Was supposed to be at our vestry retreat this morning; sent my regrets instead. Time to rest.
Unbelievably, I have more leg room in this CRJ700 for the quick hop home than I did on an old 737-800 for the long haul from LAX.
It’s been a good and busy week in Long Beach. And now it’s 4:45 Pacific and I’ve been up for almost two hours already, sitting at my gate at LAX, ready to fly home. Let’s do this.
