From “The Private Diary of Bishop F. Atticus McButterpants” – 23-05-01 – Wimpies, again

May 1st, 2023

Dear Diary,

Another exhausting Sunday. Confirmations in Prairieville and Watson. False eyelashes must be in again – most of the girls were wearing them. The boys looked confused, though one of them was really chipper. He had a thick gold-edged prayer book with ribbons dangling out the side. Grinning from ear to ear. His mom was had one of those lace veils on her head like when I was young. Strange.  Seeing more of that these days.

Tommy’s ankle isn’t getting better.  This is a BIG problem.  Vijay had to drive me to the confirmations and he just won’t shut up.  What to do?

Still thinking about Luis, where to put him. Gotta decide this week. I’ve heard of other bishops delaying guys in the diaconate but I can’t do that. Can’t move the date. I forgot Pentecost is also Memorial Day weekend this year! Thought it fell in June like last year. Can’t move up Luis’s ordination to a June date. He’s got tons of people flying in for it and the hispanics putting on the fiesta. I can hardly wait for that part!

Dustin and Vijay will be on deck. Dustin’s a beanpole. His folks are polite. They’re not happy about him being in seminary. Protestants of some kind.  Gotta ask Fr. Tommy about the “wimpies”.  Funny.  Since Chester tore up the last set, I had to show more interest so I can even spell it right now, “vimpae” which is “vim-pay”.  Tommy’s nanna was a good sport about Chester. She insisted on making more.  And that I use them.

    And that I use them!

    If Vijay is a seminarian, what is he doing driving the Bishop around? We have seen enough Bishop-seminarian consorting in real life. +Atticus, please keep your distance from seminarians.
