Everyone in the house has had a varying degree of sickness for over a week. The little one had it the worst. I would say the Mrs. was a close second. For me, it was severe chest cold, complete with coughing up bloody chunks of goo, a fever, delerium and nightmares. Good times.
I managed to make it through Ash Wednesday. The early service was tiny (four in attendance), but I almost passed out midway through. The evening service was much larger, and the folks were very understanding and appreciative that I refused to touch the bread, having a lay person distribute it in my place. During the elevation, I just lifted the whole paten. Bad liturgical form? Maybe…but it beats giving my folks the plague. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. My sermon is part Gospel of Mark and part Where the Wild Things Are.
I was supposed to go to a gun show today, but didn’t. Too tired, plus it was raining.
Why go to a gun show, you ask? I am always looking for a bargain. I am not sure I have anything in mind in particular, but would like to pick up an old SKS and modify it for deer season. You just get better deals this way, especially if you aren’t dealing with the overhead of a fancy retail location.
Speaking of which, I have two gun posts brewing. One on the renewal of the assault weapons ban, and one of the “gun show loophole.”
