Today, obviously, is the Feast of St. Dominic. Some good stuff from around the blogs: A Penitent Blogger: The cult denounced marriage, childbearing, and eating meat. They advocated cohabitation and suicide. The Church spoke out, but with little effect: partly because the churchmen there lived very comfortable lives that did not seem to resonate with…

As magazine-followers know, a couple of years ago, the Atlantic Monthly inexplicably dumped its age-old custom of including a short story in each issue for doing instead, a yearly fiction issue. The reasoning still escapes me. Anyway, the point of interest this year is that the 2007 fiction issue is heavily weighted with stories with religious…

I went ahead and named it so your RSS feeds would show something.  I mostly didn’t do it because I don’t like the look of the title up there below the header, but there’s nothing I can do about it.  No allusive Latin, no “musings.” Just what popped into my head weeks ago when I…

Big Love , the HBO series about a suburban polygamist family in Utah, is nearing the (cue HBO guy’s sonorous voice) EXCITING CONCLUSION of its second season. I wasn’t too, too interested when the show started, and was a little put off by what I’d read about it – articles telling me that the show’s…

New blog… Mine. Different look, different purpose. Had to be done – explanation’s over there. This blog will stay up for a while because I know people use the links on the sidebars for their surfing, etc.

I really don’t want to make a big deal of this, but here’s the new blog. FAQ: 1. Er…why? Because as much as I really and truly do like the Way of the Old Blog, with news links, discussions and lots of links for blegs and such, I need to stop doing that. 2. But,…

I saw the film Once yesterday at our local art house joint, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s a musical, of sorts – not hard to do, since the characters are all musicians, so it makes sense that they break into song, since they’re always singing anyway. It’s all very organic and all that.…

Michael’s got that covered. Except for the moment at which we turned one of those curvy corners in backroads Upstate New York and came smack dab up against a doe and her fawn. Well, not smack dab – we were going slowly, so we stopped. They stared at us for a moment, then Mama ran…

You know how it is when time plays tricks on you? When you do things – not so long ago- but in retrospect, it seems like forever? This trip, like every trip, was like that. Day One was barely ten days ago, but it could be months, for all I know.  It began in Cleveland,…

The more I contemplate this photo, the more I see the story of each person in it. And the person behind the camera. Effects rendered via Picnik
