I started actively homebrewing beer in August 2015. Now, 4 ½ years later, I’ve just put my 100^th batch into the fermenter. It’s a nice milestone at the start of a new year.

Pardon me while I reminisce.

As I write this we are busy preparing for Bishop Mark’s installation as the new bishop of Saskatoon tonight. It’s an energetic time. Everyone has been running around, getting things ready. Invitations were sent, a dinner and a reception organized, travel plans and accommodations organized for about 20 (20!) other bishops, and so much more. My little contribution has been working to live stream the Mass (hopefully). It’s been quite crazy around here.

But this morning, everything seems a little more quiet, like a brief calm before the storm.
