The Fantasticks

This past weekend the Seminary drama department presented THE FANTASTICKS. It was presented on Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. It was very well done and enjoyable to watch. It was directed by Brother Cyprian. Actors were seminarians: Alex Urena, Andrew Horn, Craig Thomas, Chris Ciaffa, Sam Matthiesen, David Bauer and Dan Nielsen. Kathy Nelson, who is from the local area, played the part of the girl, Luisa. Jennifer Phelps, an oblate from Des Moines, was in charge of make-up.

Yesterday I took Abbot James to St. Joseph for a doctor appointment. On the way home I came by the back roads, as it were, in order to take Abbot James by some of the windmills that are set up now as part of the Conception Wind Energy Farm. They are not working yet but are very impressive and quite large. As soon as I have a chance I will take a close up picture of one or two of them and post them on this blog.

The Benedictine Priors who were here for a workshop last weekend left on Monday. On Sunday evening they enjoyed a meal at a restaurant in St. Joseph.

That's it for this time. Continue to enjoy the nice fall weather.
