Another Monday

I travelled through Canada this past weekend and was almost in Alaska. A seven hour drive and a wonderful retreat with the black hoods. Had it pencilled in for the wrong weekend and almost missed it. A guardian angel reminded me at the last hour. So it was back to the branch this morning. More feathers ruffled over the weekend, Mrs. Fritchley leaving, finally, and for good. Nobody is unhappy. However, there is another bomb ticking away and when that goes off it will be a major realignment in the branch. Tonight I am going to Canada for a lecture. I heard that the red little bird in the temple is unhappy because he has to drink and eat alone at night. It is sort of funny what people know. "Ringy-dingy" - another drink please and some bird seed.
