Tuesday Trifles

I haven't ran anything about William F. Buckley's death, mostly because many others were doing so far better than I could. For some reason, though, I particularly liked John Zmirak's tribute at Taki's Top Drawer [http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_

Monday Moanin'

The parochial school fundraiser went splendidly. We aimed to make $35,000-$40,000. We cleared $45,000. Expenses are still trickling in, but we're comfortable notifying the ecclesiastical authorities that we beat the goal by 15% or so. The evening was a lot of fun, hands-down the

Saturday Stuff and Sucks

Monday Moaning

I've come down with the stomach flu. It's not nearly as bad as the bronchitis/flu/plague thing I had earlier this month (thank goodness), but highly unpleasant: Playing both ends of the court, mild headache, chills. I'm the seventh person in my house
