Schedule Alert

Tomorrow (Sunday) morning I have a 10:00 AM mass and after that I head for the airport for a flight to Taiwan for a Maryknoll meeting.  I don’t know what the wi-fi situation will be there when I arrive late at night so I may not be able to post on Sunday (at least not on OUR Sunday).

Notable Quotes

 

 

“Clearly, the great mystery of life is that it is lived in an always flowing stream of change.  We are one person with one set of ideas at one age, and then, when we look back years later, discover that we became another person at another age.  The only certainty about it is the fact
that we ourselves decide both what we are now and what we intend to become.  And we make that decision one choice at a time.”

Sister Joan Chittister

Changing Skyline 2

Following up on yesterday’s view of Phnom Penh’s skyline, here is a little more detail.  The red arrow on the left points out the Intercontinental Hotel that was the tallest building in Phnom Penh, at ten stories, when I arrived here in 2000.  The blue arrow on the right shows the Vattanac Capital Tower which is 39 stories tall and currently the city’s tallest although other taller buildings are under construction.
