John on the roof at home
Imagine our surprise today at Chapel of the Adoration when the unusually low attendence today was attributed to the snow. In Aomori most of us attend church even if we have to brave a raging blizzard. I guess my sister's right. It's all a question of perspective!

It was kind of hard to sympathize!
We're now half way through OMF's 10 day Pre-Home Assignment Workshop. (Also known as PHAW.) I attended the first work shop 6 years ago and dragged John a long to this one.

And yes, Patrice, Barry remembers. (I sat next to him at lunch today.)
