Email worries

| September 21, 2005

Last night my son learned via email that his Papal account may have been breached, and that he would have to log in with some security information in order to reset it. Unfortunately, he could not remember having either a Paypal account or a Papal one, so was unable to rectify the problem. We’re all […]

It says "historical," not "hysterical," right?

Quick update and request

| September 15, 2005

You may have noticed I’ve been very slow to post lately, especially the past two weeks. Im in the final stretch of studying for a test for my final credit toward my bachelor’s degree. The test is scheduled for tomorrow, so I’ve been spending more time than usual reading about nutrition and boring my poor, […]

Self-righteousness: easier than doing right.

| September 8, 2005

I don’t enjoy party politics anymore, not since I had a few nasty experiences with it in my early adulthood; yet I cannot help noticing the unified support this person seems to receive from fellow Democrats in condoning both a lack of compassion and a self-righteousness about it. It seems that Demgurl, who prides herself […]

I think it was the heretic question.

| September 6, 2005

Whatever it was, I thought it was amusing that I turned out to be Augustine, my patient and charming husband‘s patron, and he didn’t. You are Augustine! You are a great thinker, but becareful not to let your past immoderation freakyou out about good times. It’s really ok totake some pleasure in material things. Which […]

For the Record…

| August 1, 2005

I’ve never been on Fear Factor. Apparently someone with the same name as me was; but I assure you, I have no desire either to torture myself or to degrade myself for prize money. I should point out, as long as I’m at it, that I am also not a Canadian songwriter or a professional […]

A Larger Catholic Blogosphere

It seems the Catholic Blogosphere is growing… around the waist. Guess which blogger is about to increase his family size and his wife’s waistline?

St. Anthony the Wise…

| July 18, 2005

… elbow. I’m still chuckling over what happened yesterday morning as we were getting ready for Mass. I had my handy-dandy-never-wrinkle dress, but desperately needed the slip to go with it. It wasn’t where I thought I remembered putting it, so I asked St. Anthony to help me find it. He’s helped me on numerous […]
