NFP and Sundry

BCS hangover this morning, so little blogging. Congratulations to LSU and the ghost of Walker Percy. I've always liked the SEC. Even though their fans have grown a bit tiresome lately, bayou country for a Saturday night football game has been on my list of "Places to

Monday Moaning Miscellany

It dawned on me this weekend that July 2008 marks the 40th anniversary of Humanae Vitae [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae_en.html] . No doubt the press will be all over it. If you give me modest odds

Something for Sunday Morning

"The perfect Christian is always a bearer of peace and joy." St. Clement of Alexandria __________ Something for Epiphany Sunday On Melchior, Balthasar, and Gaspar [http://wordbytes.org/doctrine/magi.htm]. I can't vouch for everything here, but it's the best web page I'

Stuff for Saturday

This might be the consumer tip of the year so far (okay, so it's only Jan. 5th, it's still a good tip): Asus Eee 4G-Galaxy 7" PC Mobile Internet Device [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000Y33CVM/thedailyeudem-20]. Only $399, and it&

Brews You Can Use

Divorcing Gays

Marshmallow Eudemon

Dean Martin sang "Marshmallow World," a tribute to billows of snow. That's what my town looks like now: mounds and mounds of snow [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080101/ap_on_re_us/winter_storm]. Quite beautiful, but tiresome. I cleared the driveway four times

The New Year Eudemon

Ouch, my head! MAKE THAT CAT STOP STOMPING AROUND! Hand me a Gatorade, a bottle of Motrin, a revolver, and one bullet. Naw, I'm just kidding. I'm dog tired, but not at all hungover, with the exception of the general grogginess that comes after six beers

NY Eve Eudemon

This year's Times Square ball: __________ My most-recent at Catholic Exchange: Blessed Are the Flexible [http://www.catholicexchange.com/node/68534]. __________ My apologies, but the holidays are keeping me from full-blown blogging. I'm back in town now, but other commitments are keeping me hoppin'
