A gorgeous morning bathed in sun gave way to Seattle's famous gray bluster, with rain punctuating the day like an e.e. cummings poem. I attended a meeting, trying some fantastic Spanish wines, and worked mainly from home organizing the week. Work is keeping me more and more busy, a situation I am very happy with. The week has had a fairly auspicious beginning. Let's hope the augurs are right.
Sunday saw me try a new Catholic church, Blessed Sacrament, a Dominican parish church in the University District. The spire of the church can be seen from my living room window, a fact that had escaped me until I got back from mass. The church itself is amazingly beautiful, like a Notre Dame in red brick, some kind of New World Imitation Gothic. Mass itself was incredibly traditional, with incense and Gregorian chants hanging in the air and lending the space an otherworldly feel. Four priests were present during mass, another surprise considering the bare-bones feel of other parish churches I had attended. I am definitely considering going back, and maybe making Blessed Sacrament my local parish church.
Have to run and pick up the Angel.
Ciao.
