It’s another Monday and it’s a really cold one for this time of year where I live. Chattanooga is feeling the Arctic today. Staying warm is the rule of the day. Thank goodness it is going to get warmer later in the week.

Our Resident Rooster
OK, we have a wild rooster who has taken up residence in our neighborhood. It’s a beautiful bird who we have given the name of “Rocky”. Every morning it lets the neighborhood know the sun is coming up and also has other things to say. I don’t mind it being among us. It’s breaks up the craziness of the world we find ourselves in. Rock on Rocky!
Summer Is Here!
The first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere arrives with the solstice this year on Friday, June 20, 2025, 10:42 p.m. EDT. With Summer comes fun and sun and weird weather. Let’s stay cool as the heat warms all around us. Remember to hydrate because it’s good for you, and try not to get sunburned.
Meanwhile, I will be counting down the days until my favorite season, which is Fall.
Chattanooga, Tennessee Goes To The Polls
The city of Chattanooga goes to the polls today to elect our mayor and city council. I’m voting for Mayor Tim Kelly who has done a good job so far. Get out and vote fellow Chattanoogans. Democracy on the local level is so important.
East Tennessee Episcopal Convention 2025
Each February the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee holds its annual convention. This year it was held at the Episcopal School of Knoxville. This event is where delegates from its member churches gather to renew friendships, make connections, and conduct business. My wife and I with our friend Tammy and our priest Fr. Drew were in attendance to represent our parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. It was good to get away overnight too. Here are a few snaps of our time there.
