I got kids on buses this morning, and although I forgot one thing I was supposed to remember (and sat on the sofa trying to think of what it was), the affected kid remembered it.

I’ve also got my ground beef mostly defrosted, I think, in preparation for making meat loaf, which I will do probably in about an hour. I am otherwise fairly free, although I was supposed to stop at the bank last night and forgot, so I might go out sometime tonight to do that. It’s my understanding that my commuting son is coming home, but it was unclear how he was doing so, so I might be going for a ride late tonight anyway, and once you’re going as far as that a few miles out of the way is not so big a deal.

Did remember to do the system maintenance before bed–but I almost forgot, and had to go back to do it. I’m always forgetting that stuff.

I also completed a milestone which makes me happy: in my morning study in First Corinthians I completed chapter 13, the famous love chapter which is so frequently taken out of context that a lot of people know portions of it by heart and have no idea what it really means. I’m finding that a lot of the assumptions people make about the meaning of the text are not supportable by the text itself, and seeing how it actually fits is enlightening. (Of course, if you’re interested in that in detail, you can sign up for the Chaplain’s Teaching List and get the daily installments.)

I hope to maintain the momentum, though, so I’m momenting out of here.
