I've been up two hours already...
Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form at 5:45 am; about 12 people showed up, about average. One was already in church when I turned on the lights at 5:33.
After that, some coffee and some zucchini bread for breakfast -- the latter courtesy of a thoughtful parishioner, who left it in the sacristy with a humorous note on fasting.
A bit of browsing through news sites after that. Meanwhile, outside, the workers are pouring concrete for our walkways, which are being re-done; and as I poured another cup of coffee in the kitchen, I noticed the air-conditioning contractor was at work again.
In a few minutes, I'll walk over and offer Holy Mass again, this time in the Ordinary Form. This is one of those days where the calendars coincide: Saints Pontian and Hippolytus.
I better head over...

Zucchini bread! The gift of abundance from someone's garden, I'd bet.
Hereabout, the ring of the front doorbell sometimes leads to a bushel basket of surplus zucchini left by someone who is seen scampering down the driveway so as not to hear a polite "no, thanks" from the homeowner after opening the door.
I'm hoping for tomatoes and basil this year. I need to make some sauce and some pesto.
Thank You Father for offering the Extraordinary Form of the Mass at a time that even I could attend.
