Who says that retirement is all that dull?  Like a lot of those who have preceeded me into "retirement" I find that I am as busy as ever..... 

At The Southern Cross: As the Managing Editor of The Southern Cross, the newspaper for San Diego diocese, I have no end of concerns and interests.  Fortunately I have a great crew and a great relationship with our bishop.  The May  '10 issue was my "second anniversary" issue. [No, there was no party.]  If you have items that would help tell our Catholic story  please contact me at cfuld@diocese-sdiego.org or (858) 490-8279 or FAX (858)490-8355

With the Knights of Columbus: After finishing my tour as California State Chaplain, I agreed to localize my efforts by working with the Knights of the 4th Degree in Southern California, working with Larry Compitiello.

San Diego Sheriff's Department:  Yes, I will continue as their Catholic Chaplain-at-Large..

Workshops and retreats:  I am currently working on a  Men's retreat  to be held at Whispering Winds Campground during the weekend of 12-13-14 November 2010. 

Minding a parish or two.  Yes, I'll be minding St. Didacus in July, Corpus Christi in October and Our Lady of Perpetual Help late next year.

Mass Schedules:  I am helping at various churches as needed.  Yes, I'm keeping very busy.

Trips and Tours: The big adventure was a trip to Spain with daughter Terri, her husband and daughter in March and April of last year.  We stayed in Marbela and from there we traveled all around, including a first-time visit  to Gibralta.  The next trip will be a week-long visit to NYC in Sept.  I'm also planning to visit the Utah Shakespeare Festival with Fr. Mike in August.  Tours?  None planned -- though there has been talk of a possible tour to France or Ireland next year.
