With apologies, another short post. Work is simply monopolizing all my time. One short story from five days ago [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article2039932.ece]: > With donations to the Church from around the world almost doubling and pilgrims pouring into Rome in ever-greater numbers,

The Wednesday Eudemon

So the Pope has riled non-Catholics with his new document that says Protestants don't have real churches [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,288841,00.html]. I don't pretend to be a theologian, but I'm not sure I fully (partly, but not

Grammar Question

I saw this AP story [http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070710/us_nm/simpsons_contest_dc] about towns called "Springfield" competing to get The Simpson's premier opening. > But in the series' 18-year history it has never been clear which of the 34

The Stunted Eudemon

Another short post. Sometimes life throws you curve balls, other times it hits you in . . . nevermind. Just a few quick things: Looking for a witch at retail? The EU has 'em [http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2407698.html], courtesy of freaky Romania. And they're good-

The Baseball Eudemon

It's baseball time. Jack's (11) regular season ended, but now he's playing on his league's junior All-Star team (first-year players, for the most part) and representing our town against other towns in the area. Today, he has games at 1:

The Friday Eudemon

It's the feast day of the patron saint of people against pornography: St. Maria Goretti [http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=78]. A good-looking twelve-year-old, she was attacked by a man whose imagination had been inflamed by looking at the (compared to

The Thursday Eudemon

So, my fourteen-year-old jock nephew Dan Scheske enters a July Fourth three-on-three basketball tournament in Topeka, Indiana [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topeka,_Indiana], a podunk town with a lot of Amish people, situated about thirty minutes from my house. He gets there and sees a

Happy Fourth

I hope everyone has a good Fourth of July. I'll spend the bulk of mine at the office, a payback for my extended leave. You know you're busy when you're looking forward to working on a holiday because "the phone won't
