Miscellaneous Rambling
Anybody have any recommended podcasts? I seem to be running a bit low. It happens this time of year due to all the time I spend gardening and walking outside. * * * * * * * It's funny, I don't think I can garden without listening to a podcast. On Saturday, I did a lot of gardening in the morning and, for various reasons, couldn't listen to a podcast during it. I found myself a bit dissatisfied with the process, kinda anxious to get it over with. I returned that afternoon, podcast in ear, and again greatly enjoyed the gardening experience. There's "something about" keeping my mind on one thing and my hands busy with something else at the same time that seems to strike a great psychological balance for me. Whatever that something is, I suspect it's why the Rosary is a great prayer. * * * * * * * We got a Catholic radio station in my area a few years ago. I listen frequently and greatly enjoy it, but Marie and I have noticed one disturbing thing: its female personalities tend to be annoying. Not all of them by any means, but quite a few. They speak with a saccharine holiness that grates the living hell out of me (and thereby puts the hell back in me, I suppose). I don't want to mention any names (they all seem like kind, knowledgeable, well-intentioned ladies), but if someone can get a message to these radio personalities to turn off the drip faucet of molasses, that'd be great. * * * * * * * I've started watching Netflix's Daredevil with my son, Michael (16). Greatly enjoyable. A bit too graphic with the violence, but virtually no sex and PG with the language. Now, if Netflix can resist its leftist yearning to turn the Daredevil into a cross-dressing homosexual who fights for national health insurance, I think it has a great show on its hands.
