Another busy month for this out gay man, seeking to be all about embodying God’s justice and compassion in the Church and the world!I turned 46 this October. Imagine that! I didn't host a party this year as in previous years (see, for example, here and here) but various groups of friends and colleagues orchestrated little celebrations for me. How lucky am I?

With our first "project" well underway, we're in full swing planning future ones!Right: Celebrating with friends Bill (right), who shares the same birthday as me, October 23, and Travis, who's birthday is the day after. We're at Fabulous Ferns in St. Paul, MN.

Angie's dad Myron passed away earlier in the month and on October 27 I traveled to Montevideo, MN, for his funeral. As sad as the occasion was, I appreciated and enjoyed reconnecting with Angie and her family.
