The Quick-Hitting Eudemon

It's a nice movie, but this could prompt me to put a bullet in my head: "A TV channel screening The Sound of Music [http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2422087.html] non-stop has been launched in Salzburg where the movie was filmed. The Julie

The Tuesday Eudemon

I like it, I like it a lot: A former prison near Medellin, Colombia will soon be reopened as a Benedictine monastery, according to local officials [http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=52397]. It triggers thoughts on all sorts of levels: redemption, cloistered, prison of flesh . . . __________ I caught

Monday Moanin'

So I'm doing some random surfing Sunday evening (our house was filled with 11 children, and my study is sequestered in a quiet corner of the basement), and I ran across a list of 25 promising occupations. I clicked on "clergy" and discovered that the median

The Weekend Eudemon

Three Philosophers [http://www.ommegang.com/index.php?mcat=1&scat=4] jolted my taste buds late Friday afternoon. I wasn't sure whether it was nasty or good, but I knew right away it was a beer to be sipped, not gulped greedily (though, if bad, perhaps

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-
