Tuesday Blurbs

Summer is over. The kids start school today, and things return to normal. Thing is, I kinda like it when things aren't normal, especially when it means my days aren't sandwiched between getting the kids to school and getting home in time for children's

The Labor Day Eudemon

Not much today. After writing on Saturday morning that I was going to relax, four U of M tickets fell into my lap. I gathered up two of my boys and my nephew, then sped to Ann Arbor for the historic game. It was painful . . . but funny. Oddly enough, Michigan

Something for Sunday Morning

"It is absurd and disgraceful for one to live magnificently and luxuriously when so many go hungry." St. Clement of Alexandria (And lest you think Clement was a kill-joy early Socialist, he was one of the first thinkers to say that Jesus's harsh instructions to

The Weekend Eudemon

College football kicks off big time today. It's a glorious day, and my alma mater picked a I-AA team for its opener. Kind of embarrassing. Thing is, Appalachian State has won the last two I-AA championships [http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2007/08/appalachian_

Out Again

I took the family to Cedar Point [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Point], America's best amusement park, yesterday. The kids had a great time (rode 14 rollercoasters, some more than once), but we didn't get home until midnight. I'm dragging, and I have

The Light Eudemon

I'm beckoned out of town, so I have no time to blog. I will mention, though, that Drudge cracked me up with this Idaho Senator headline: Terror in the Toilets [http://www.drudgereport.com/].

The Tuesday Eudemon

The memorial of St. Augustine. I wrote an article for Catholic Exchange two years ago, but I can't find it online anymore. If you want to see it, I've saved it as a separate page on this blog. Go here [https://thedailyeudemon.com/?page_id=5693]

Polka Infiltrates

Rock polka? Motown polka? Yeah, it exists, though people don't believe me. I see it in Frankenmuth every year, and now I can prove it: If you want some Polka Pink Floyd, go here [http://www.myspace.com/polkafloyd]. It's a slow news day and I
