I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Toby and I out for a 2-block, roundy-roundy just to get it out of his system.  Hey, HE decided to cut it short after two blocks.  I just agreed.

Calls into niece and former sister-in-law to get more information on my nephew/son.  If it is what it seems to be, I think he’s screwed.
*Jera isn’t always pleasant, and he may need all the strength he can get (Man)

Well Hela, that was a wasted effort.  Trying to see my nephew/son takes a scheduled visit, and it’s over a monitor; no face-to-face anything.  Trying to register as a minister is equally difficult, but I need to see what I can do.

Ultimate Burrito and a free beverage from QT for an early, possibly only lunch.

Well, Hela, if I don’t have time to do anything else for a workout, I need to do a bit of core work;

God/dess Meditation: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
