Brews You Can Use

The WSJ devoted an entire online article (with 2-minute video documentary) to the rise of beer pong [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118834341517511527.html?mod=hpp_us_editors_picks] . I've always loved drinking games, but this one has never appealed to me. I guess I'm

Football Quotes

Football starts tonight. A friend sends these along. I can't vouch for the authenticity, but they're pretty good. My apologies for any awkward formatting, but I don't have time right now to straighten them out. "At Georgia Southern, we don't cheat.

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/].

Something for Sunday Morning

On apologetics: "Is there anything more lamentable than a teacher whose only way of saving his pupils is to tell them not to heed the life of the one speaking to them?" St. John Chrysostom

The Weekend Eudemon

The rain won't stop and we're supposed to get more. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this in southwest Michigan. It stopped yesterday from about 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., which is ironic since the high

Brews You Can Use

Not much today. I'm off work and hope to get some serious writing done . . . in addition to going to Mass, attending tonight's high school football opener with my football-wild sons, helping with my daughter's birthday party (she became a teenager yesterday; she hasn&

The Biden Pope?

The Pope is has been talking a lot about St. Gregory Nazianzus [http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=53059]. He must've seen my biographical sketch of the saint years ago [http://www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Faith/2000-7-8/scheske.html]. I hate it when
