Jen reminded me. I heard on the radio this morning that Bishop Edward Head passed away. I’ve met him, and he seemed a decent sort. Very well-respected. Here’s the thing I thought was strange…probably a good three months ago, we were talking about the Bishop’s death being imminent, and beginning to prepare for it. (“We” meaning the employees of WNY Catholic.) So I thought it was strange that the radio reporter said that Bishop Head died “suddenly, following a brief illness.” I wouldn’t have called the illness brief, or his death sudden…but that’s just me, I guess.

ETA: Maybe the illness was a secret? Was I supposed to keep my mouth shut? Hmmm…
