Night Prayer (Almost) Disaster

 

I don't have a lot to write about tonight. Hardingfele and I walked at lunch today, and we went back to the greenhouses because it's getting colder out again, and in the main greenhouse some people offered us some much-appreciated hot tea. We were planning to go to the Quebecois jam at Minocqua Brewery tonight, but she pooped out on me, which I expected, so I am just having a quiet evening at home. Sure, I could have gone by myself, but it had been a week and a half since I wrote to Mariah my diary, and I hadn't seen any of Colbert's show yet this week. Also, I discovered that the newspaper-like mailing we get every week with coupons for places I never go to has sudoku and a crossword puzzle - has this always been true? I've never looked at it that closely before, I've always just recycled it right away. 

The most interesting thing that happened to me today was at Night Prayer, when we couldn't find the Night Prayer PDF on ebreviary.com. Fortunately several people discovered you could get it on ibreviary.com. I thought for a moment we were going to have to give up Night Prayer after all these years, although if we got desperate, I could have just read the one in my Magnificat, although nobody else could see that. Strange that the website we have been using for six years suddenly decided to stop having Night Prayer as option. They still have other things, like Vespers for Sundays.

Meanwhile, at work Travalon decided if he can't beat the "Six Seven" craze, he can join it. He sent me this picture he drew.

Six is a snake, and seven is a dragon head. He didn't say if this was a big hit with the kids, but you'd think so. He says they play games on the playground they call "Six Seven." I thought this inane trend would die eventually, but it just keeps going. Now Travalon is at a movie, so I have the house to myself. There was something else going on tonight that I could have done instead of the Quebecois jam, but now I can't find it. Was it in my email? Was it on social media? Doesn't matter - at this hour, it's long over, and I enjoyed a mellow evening at home.
