Bill's Notes

[Industrialblog, April 17, 2006]
Tiber, Swam
So I'm done. I have completed the process of swimming the Tiber. Saturday night during Easter Vigil, I was received into the Church and confirmed Roman Catholic. There was an extraordinary beauty ... I can't describe it. Just a beauty I've never experienced before.

On a lighter note, after sitting through about 50 masses in the past year in which I was not permitted to go to communion, it was a little odd to finally be permitted to go. Nice, but odd ... like, "Oh, right, I get to go."

It's all very exciting.

For you orthodox episcopalians who are thinking of swimming the Tiber, all I can say is this: It's wonderful.
