From Fr. Don's Blackberry

Countdown to meeting with (music please) THE CHICAGO BOSS. t-minus 20 hours!

Greetings from Chicago.  My kind of town, even though us Chicagoans have an eternal love affair with a baseball team that countless times seduces us with its Divisional 1st place teams, only to tear our hearts out come the fall.  Cubbies, why do we still love you?  The truth?  We love you for your house - Wrigley Field.

Flew in from LA (4hrs +) last night with a severely, sore lower back.  Serious swelling action going on.  Man, most uncomfortable flight to date.  I'll take sustained in-flight screaming from "children of God" or snoring and slobbering neighbors over this.  Think I pulled a back muscle lifting weights last Saturday.  Could be a little stress I am feeling right now as I prepare to meet (music please) THE CHICAGO BOSS, Francis Cardinal George.  don't want to give you the wrong impression; My boss really is the greatest bishop a priest could have (Besides, he might be reading this) - Love ya Cardinal George!  Actually, it is possible (back to the back) that it was the devil, in fear of what was to come, stomped on and kicked me in the back last Saturday night.  Ha, it didn't work!

I will fill you all in about this time tomorrow regarding the outcome and what the future holds from my meeting with (music please) THE CHICAGO BOSS.
