St Moling d. 697 and Father's Day eve eve


06/17/20016
2000

Before, I had a target audience.  Now, having reason to believe I have no sons, my writings are pure solipsistic.  I've thrown away almost all pen and pencil writings.   I'm still emptying boxes into the trash preliminary to my next move, which will be optimally light, sans baggage whether paper or psychological; and soonish.  videbimus. 

Moling. d 697

Bishop of Ferns, the successor of St. Aidan. Born in Wexford, Ireland, he is also listed as Dairchilla, Molignus, Moling, or Myllin. Moling was a monk at Glendalough and then founded an abbey at Achad Cainigh, which became Teghmollin, or Tech Molin, St. Mullins. He was buried there.  

River Barrow, one of the three sisters, rivers in SE Ireland.

Whatever is known of Molling is lost (?) or inconsequential.  He is the successor of St Aidan, about whom much is extant.  We are known by whose company we keep or whom we choose to be our patron.  Whom we are with is, possibly, more important than whom we are.

I tried on my new sport coat yesterday.  snug across my paunch.  Today, I resolved, is my last day to stuff myself.  The discipline of exercise and minimal eating is a renewed commitment - to delete the paunch and improve the blood test numbers that seem to please Dr Reed.  Videbimus.

On a plane tomorrow at 6am to Chicago for Father's Day (a $1,000 event) with Ken and Dad.  Got Dad Chicago Cubs jersey and cap plus a Bangor and Aroostook train car.  Maybe this is the year for the Cubs.  and the B&A car was a fortuitous find:  thus, history and future.

Ora Pro Me....
