Hello from Omaha

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that I survived my bike ride from Saint Louis to Omaha. Since then I have driven up to Bismarck for the ordination of now Father Justin Waltz. The ordination was amazing. Next, I drove back to Omaha and am now in the full swing of the Institute for Priestly Formation summer program.

In fact starting tonight I am on an 8-day, silent, Ignatian retreat. I won't be checking e-mail or answering the phone all week. So if I don't answer that doesn't mean I didn't survive my bike trip. It means I'm spending time alone with God.
