Oh, what a life! We cannot wait,
To be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate,
And lead a life that's grand!
Like Calvin from the comic strip, I am off to the Yukon to visit my good friend, Fr. Matt George. Fr. Matt volunteered to go to the Yukon for two years. He has found the Yukon is a big place that allows you to do some big thinking. So I look forward to his insights after his first year there.
My vacation this year came in bite sized pieces that helped stretch summer. A new associate, Catholic Christian Leadership Camp, Notre Dame Vision and my family get away were all taste little pieces of life that will nourish me for the year to come. I know my trip to the Yukon will be an important break for me to put together the pieces of a busy summer.
