Three Wizards and a Funeral

captainsblogTomorrow is going to be an interesting day.
The Big Event will be occurring in the Potterverse as the clock strikes thirteen. That's because the midnight shows at Regal were all sold out by the time Emily asked me to get tickets for her and the BF, so best we could do for the two of them was a 1 a.m. show. (The muggle 'rents will be going after I get back from the weekend, at a much less vampire-attracting hour.)
This also means that Em will be getting home, I would guess, sometime around 4, which will wake the dogs, probably irreversibly since anything within two hours of feeding time is fair game as far as they're concerned.
Fortunately, I am OFF tomorrow through Monday. Deal with it,suckas, clients. We do, however, have to be at church at 11 Friday morning, for the second of the funerals for husbands of friends of ours who we know from the congregation. Eleanor has posted about how beautiful the first one was, held up in an old-school Catholic parish in Niagara Falls. This one will be at ours, and I may be stepping in to help out with it by more than just being there.
Emily's been volunteering a few days a week in the church office, and she came home yesterday concerned about our associate pastor. I don't post much here about Carmen because I just don't see that much of her; we share her half-time with three other combined northeast Buffalo parishes (she and two other ministers rotate among the three of them), and our senior pastor, and both of the other University District ministers, are on vacation this week. So Carmen's got to plan and run four services on Sunday plus plan and conduct the funeral. Emily said she seemed really stressed, so I planned to offer any assistance with the service tomorrow, since we'll be there anyway.
Never got the chance to make that call. When I was doing cardio in the early afternoon, I saw her husband Nick, also a minister (and originally one of ours, in a similar soul-sharing scenario last summer- they run both of their church confirmation classes together and live in our parsonage). I went looking for him to let him know our concern, and found him- on the basketball court. Shooting hoops with Carmen in a fairly competitive one-on-one game.
She seemed okay. I offered help anyway.
----
That's at 11, then it's road-hitting time. If my sister's forgotten, I'll be making it to her place by late tomorrow afternoon, then heading straight to the game Saturday at 3. I'll be on Long Island Saturday night and at my fourth different church in four weekends on Sunday morning, then up the Taconic for the Meeting of the Kate that evening, back down and into Manhattan for court on Monday morning, and finally home.
But that's all prologue. As for today, happy birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Happy Bass-Steel Day!
