Paul and Kimberly hosted a larger than normal group. Looks like everybody was happy. Big table, ten parishioners, and four wine bottles!

That is a planned and well-posed photo! Congratulations! Brenda Waites is a family friend of Ted and Chris and was helping out with the meal and hosting. Looks like she fits right in.

Hospitality Scheduling

On By The Basilica of Saint Peter6 Comments

I really try to work out the schedule with some things in mind. For example,

  1. minimum travel distances in January and reasonable travel distances the other months.
  2. dining with maximum number of different folks
  3. no more than twice with any one participant (other than spouses of course)

I’m sure there is a simpler way, but my system as it has evolved is illustrated below.

So, if you see some problem or oversight, please just forgive me and proceed to enjoy.
