This summer, I-65 has become the new I-75 in my life. Oddly enough, though, I find the drive from south to north or the reverse far less trying than the latter.  The landscape is more varied, there are more cities along the way, while all that stretch of I-75 I know so well offers, imprinted…

Back to the Fort tomorrow. In the meantime: I thought you might be interested in knowing that the Catholic Blog Directory (catholicblogs.blogspot.com) has just passed the 1,500 blog mark. The Directory was based on the late Gerard Serafin’s blog list which was updated by Gen X Revert before I took it over in April 2006.…

For this longish short (or shortish long) trip, I decided to try to ease the pain of the little ones by checking out some audiobooks from the library. Joseph has been listening to this recording of Mary Pope Osborne’s Tales from the Odyssey  this past week as he tinkers with his Legos, and has been…

No blogging today (Thursday) , unless it happens later tonight. In the meantime, if you care to, check out my del.icio.us bookmarks. Nothing spectactular, just interesting reading – especially Jen Ambrose’s account of the varied immigrants in China, as well as Fr. Rob’s great post on the Requiem Mass he celebrated at the Sacred Music…

I have been following what’s going on in the Anglican Communion the last couple of weeks only sporadically, figuring that it would, in the long run, be easier to read and understand summaries of what’s already happened when it’s all done than try to follow the ups, downs and varied interpretations as events unfolded in…

Today, in the last GA until mid-August, the Pope announced that he’ll be focusing on Paul for a while. From AsiaNews: “We must place ourselves,” said the Holy Father, “in the world of 2,000 years age. Under many aspects today’s socio-cultural context is not that much different from that of that time.” First of all,…

The invaluable Teresa Benedetta has translated all the addresses and homilies Pope and Patriarch from this past weekend. Go here and scroll down. Snippets: From Vespers: But he is not looking only to the past. ‘Teacher of the Gentiles’ – these words open up to the future, to all peoples and to all generations. Paul…

Julia Duin continues her reports: Bill Etherington, an attorney for the diocese and CCR, said Bishop DiLorenzo was given bad information about whether the abortion could be prevented, but didn’t elaborate as to how. “He was told it could not be stopped,” Mr. Etherington said. “It was erroneous information. He didn’t have to sign off…

Friday morning we headed – long time readers will not be surprised to hear – to the zoo. Yes, even after two visits – two – to the Birmingham Zoo last week, we still weren’t satiated. More zoo! Actually, the reasons have less to do with zoological obsession than with what my husband would call my…

As you can tell from my previous post, we have a lot of Burmese in Fort Wayne. One of the largest populations in the U.S. Many of them gather every Sunday at the park near our house, Foster Park, and it is such a vivid display of the dynamics of immigration. The older men and…
