A promised retreat

Back during the last few days of her pregnancy, my wife suggested I take a weekend's retreat after the baby arrived and everything settled down. Apparently the stress was getting to me - the kids were learning new words and I haven't smoked so much since 1995.

So now I'm calmly anticipating a weekend at Saint Meinrad Archabbey in sourthern Indiana. I've been waiting patiently for years to get to their bookstore and buy all the music they've written for the Liturgy of the Hours, and now the opportunity draws near. My friend Mark, our new daughter's godfather, went on retreat there just before his wedding and he highly recommends it.

Hm. About 90 percent of the sentences I write have a first phrase or thought (pause) then I think of something else and tack it on the end. Does that grate on anyone else's nerves like it does mine?

I bookmarked that site...I haven't been on a retreat in years and surely need one.

Cursillo isn't really a retreat. It is a wonderful experience, but I will call it more a "Charge!!" than a retreat.

This is a lot easier then you might think. The first time I went to a poker site, like most of you, I was very eager to get started immediately.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
