CONVENT STAY

It's hard to believe that this is my 1,046th day on the road. I had a good ride from Vassar, MI. In Corunna, I was able to get in contact with the president of the local Habitat affiliate. She told me that she would meet me at the affiliate's office. It turns out that she had called up several of the board members to come down and visit me. One of the board members, who was a pastor, slipped me twenty dollars before he left and I was given an affiliate t-shirt. There was an offer to stay with another board member in nearby Owosso.

I was just given an address. When I got into Owosso, I was amused to see that the address was the Catholic Convent of St. Joseph and the board member was a nun. I was given a first floor bedroom.

While taking a shower, all I could think about was what I would do if one of the other sisters were to come into the bathroom while I was naked. I couldn't think of a good song to sing so that people would know that the room was occupied.
