He adjusted. You're only going to be there a year, right? Maybe you can view it as an amusing novelty since it's short-term.

But don't worry, RM. I don't tune out on the God prose. Actually, as a recovering Catholic I know exactly what you mean about the liturgical year and how it neatly fits in not only with the seasonal calendar, but the emotions of the season. (coincidence?) I like your observation of Pentecost as a sudden "flare" - I never viewed it like that even with all the flame imagery growing up. (Can you talk to some of the higher-ups for me about the church doing something about eliminating winter? This is an issue I take particular interest in this year. It would be greatly appreciated.)
