One of the reasons I cherish my IPod is that I can download podcasts of CBC and BBC radio, to listen to while I'm cleaning, at work. Today I was listening to Anne Lamott being interviewed on CBC, and she said something that I ran to write down (in my dispatch book, because it was on my desk, hopefully nobody will need that page for a file)
"The opposite of faith is not doubt, it is certainty."
So I've been thinking about that, today.

I've finally ordered a Book of Hours, to use all by myself. I've got a bunch of printed out stuff stuck in a book, but I've been craving a real book. Eventually I want to make my own, but I think that is a project that will have to wait... I've been practicing calligraphy but it's still very slow. And I find that my mind wanders and I lose my place. More concentration is needed. The story of my life.

The cadets have gone 'camping'. I say that because the cadet rescue phone tree has been activated, I got a call about an hour ago saying that the weather has turned, the wind's getting up, and they want us to go fetch them back.

Also, out my window, I can see a barge at the dock!!!! I'm really hoping all my lovely books are on it, and that they didn't get all wet and freeze on their long Arctic Ocean voyage. I'll let you know how that turns out.

My dad had cardioversion this week, they put him under again and shocked his heart, and it went back to normal rhythm and stopped being in atrial fibrillation, which it has been since his operation.
