Something for Sunday Morning

> We must nourish a great love for God and our neighbors; a strong love, an ardent love, a love that burns away imperfections, a love that gently bears an act of impatience, or a bitter word, a love that lets an inadvertence or act of neglect pass without comment,

The Weekend Eudemon

I haven't read much about the Paris Hilton ordeal (one story and 192 headlines), and I'm not going to add to the drollery here, except simply to add: Despite my disgust for Paris Hilton, I always had a hunch that, underneath the whoredom, there was a

Ignorance, Tigers, and Brews You Can Use

I watched one of the scariest TV programs ever last night: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader [http://fox.com/areyousmarter/]? The level of ignorance in our country is astounding (but see my speculation below). Last night featured a high school history teacher, a "rocket scientist," and

Thursday Hits

Monday Miscellany

The travel season starts soon. Instead of posting Public Service Announcements about when I'll be gone, I'm just going to pre-program my posts. The posts will be sundry passages from my reading and short essays that aren't tied to any current events or

"Do not be swept away by temper, nor by sluggish speaking, nor nervous in movement. May your bearing appear something divine and sacred." St. Clement of Alexandria

The Weekend Eudemon

Web things must slow down when the weather gets nice. This is the third spring/summer in a row that TDE traffic has dropped in May. I brought in about 10,200 visitors in May, 10,500 in April, and 11,000 in March, a dropping traffic rate that is

Friday

The week nears an end, and it's been a rough one, its mere four days notwithstanding. I end it today with my firm's annual meeting, then a baseball game. The baseball game is a quotidian thing, except for the holiday weekends: T, W, Th, F, T,
