Fri 18 Apr

Good Friday. I will do Eucharist coordination for the 1 pm service. We opted not to sing with the Ecumenical Choir at Trinity this year, primarily because I didn't want to do 8-9 pm rehearsals every week. Don't like staying out that late on a regular basis. I love the Newman music during Triduum. I sure hope that if consolidation of the parishes happens this year, we get to keep some of our wonderful musical traditions, as well as the Holy Thursday potluck. It would be sad to see them gone. Decided to skip the fruit at home today for the fast day and just get my single scrambled egg/veggie crepe at Olympia with my client as sufficient breakfast. Had a little trouble with the TV this morning getting the YouTube channel up and running so didn't have enough time to do a second walking routine. Maybe it will be nice enough after church for Dad and I to take a nice long walk. Got to work and had a late night message from my client canceling our breakfast meeting. Sounded quite drunk. Good thing I had not eaten the 2 small cranberry orange scones left from yesterday's bake sale purchases so I still made a sort of breakfast at my desk. Good enough. Awesome walk in Mead Wildlife preserve. Beautiful sunshine and mild temps, and the farther we walked, the more waterfowl we encountered. We had several face-offs with very large Canadian geese on the pathway who thankfully moved when we got too close. There were a whole phalanx of what appeared to be swans a short distance away in the water. Several ducks, a few cranes, several muskrats (I know they're not waterfowl, but they were cool, too!)
