Texas warmth

I'm visiting a friend in Texas. It feels so good to be away from Iowa right now. It was in the thirties in Iowa today but in the seventies in Texas. I sat outside with a short sleeved shirt on reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I know what you're thinking. Who goes on vacation to a wonderfully warm state to read the Catechism? I'm doing a presentation shortly after I return and I have to have it pretty much finished by the time I get back. But, don't worry, just being in this warmth will take away all the stress. Plus, a week and a half without wearing priestly clothes tends to take away all the stress. I'll be ready to enter into a good Lent as soon as I get back.
