Big week or so [why I haven't been blogging]. My birthday - picture taken at the pub by friend and colleague Grant Dixon
[http://sideways-glance.com/]. My brother Kent and family [minus one adult child] came calling before we depart Nova Scotia. My [and Vivian's] son had his birthday [just 30 years and a week younger than myself]. Brother and family departed [not as in departed this mortal coil, just left for home]. And now today, our wedding anniversary [Vivian and I, just in case you have lost track of who's who by now] - our 38th. I don't suspect we will do much for the grand event -- it being a Saturday [day before Sunday] when the wife is busy, not to mention that we need to start the big push to get ready to depart [again, not this mortal coil] for Guyana via Saskatchewan. New passports have arrived, and Vivian's official Call from the ELCGuyana to make her an official member of that church.
I have marked my calendar with count-down days so that I can keep track of how close we are to leaving; I need to keep my anxiety/panic level in mid-range so that we can get the work done, but the level doesn't rise too high so that it is incapacitating. Lutherans always live in a dialectic - Law and Gospel, Saint and Sinner. I should be used to it by now.
