If the person being photographed is doing something illegal then I suppose it all evens out. Meanwhile, our polling place is run by little old white-haired church ladies who don't take crap from anyone, so we know our votes are handled properly.

I saw Dick Cheney sneaking around my local voting place the other day. Something has to be up...

I was amazed.

2010-10-26T10:32:24.314-05:00

2010-10-25T23:21:30.835-05:00

Oh my goodness.

Well, it's like the folks who always attribute "A house divided against itself cannot stand" to Abraham Lincoln.

A song from the 1940s? Wow.

That's very sad.

I wish I knew. Judging from Gruchow's age, this was perhaps the late 60s or early 70s, which excludes every translation after Fitzgerald. Would he have read the first one he came to love in his early years? (which is Fitzgerald for me)

2010-08-15T15:42:39.240-05:00

I'm looking for a "like" button! I feel sorry for Berryman's selfslain ghost, and I like him a little more after reading this.

I wonder whose translation he was reading!

Howdy, Walt! I've been remiss in answering your comment. I found an early 1960s copy of Divine Intimacy at a used book store decades ago, but, it being keyed to the old calendar, I didn't get into it til recently. I haven't hit it in a few weeks so I forgot it for my book list. It's back in the daily rotation now thanks to your reminder.

Ha! Wish I'd said that.

2010-08-12T14:03:52.157-05:00

2010-08-12T10:10:50.709-05:00

I think it was the Anchoress who said about this essay recently that if he hadn't taken a swipe at the Pope she'd be worried about him.

2010-08-12T09:46:09.680-05:00

Eggsactly...I read that and felt exactly the same as you. I found it amazing I could appreciate someone so much who, at the same time, considers Joseph Ratzinger the enemy.

2010-08-04T12:02:01.231-05:00

Hi Bill!
I wish I had your ambition when it comes to reading!

Did you ever read "Divine Intimacy" by Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalene? It's certainly nothing heavy. I've been using it this year in my 'pseudo-Matins' in the morning. Over the course of these last eight months, it has helped me to have a more sustained desire for God. At 54, perhaps I'm just getting old, but I prefer to read for inspiration rather than knowledge nowadays. I need inspiration to help me be humble, to help me strive to maintain my my joy in difficult situations, especially the sudden, unforeseen ones.
I use an old Desclee copy, but I think Baronius has reissued it.

Hope the family is well!

Well, now I'm sputtering at my screen.

Every time I consider removing the Gadsden Flag sticker from the back of my Odyssey because I think it's too belligerent, something like this comes along and makes me want to add six more.

Great catch - thanks!

I'm both a musical idiot and a musical ignoramus. But husband and I liked the music, thought it had a little Holly Cole (is that the wrong thing to say?)

Totally.

But our smart cat doesn't! It's just the dumb high-strung one, who thinks anything out of place is a brand new threat to investigate thoroughly (and if disturbed during her investigation she leaps high in the air - heh :-)
