Above is one of my favorite photos of John Paul the Great. I hope you enjoy it, also. He was a shepard who always was looking to bring back God's lost sheep. Just for interest, find his homilies while in the Holy Land. I remember reading them years ago (in grad school, and finding them great). And, read then Cardinal Ratzinger's, "At the Window of the Father's House." This was then Cardinal Ratzinger's eulogy homily at John Paul's funeral Mass. It was a powerful homily, and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I.

ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT!

Can you believe it? It's hard for me to get my mind around the fact that in 8 days, we'll be Sacramentally new. Anthony and Jenn, both married. Wow!!!!

Last night, we were making a list of stuff to do. Now it gets down to the small things. But, there is so much to do. Man, I wish I had extra vacation days. And, I hope to remember to pay my bills, and file the taxes, before next week.

Ahhhh, marriage. I was just wondering how on earth we are going to combine 2 living areas (her apartment/my house) into one arrangement. I guess it'll require creative management. :)

Also, thanks to everyone (especially Mom and Dad), who have been helping over the home stretch. It sounds like you guys will need a vacation after the wedding, too! :) Maybe you could find a nice property off of River Rd. to vacation in for a week or two? Eh, Adam? :)

OK, it's time to start the assay in the laboratory. I'll try to post something more wedding related later.
