The Wednesday Eudemon

Get ready for more Muslim protests: Benedict XVI warns that peace becomes a mirage when the dignity of woman is not fully respected [http://www.zenit.org/english/visualizza.phtml?sid=99796]. A clear shot at Muslim thinking, no? Thing is, I suspect it'll perplex Muslims. "Was

The Tuesday Eudemon

Rough morning. My stomach hurts a little and I'm coughing a bit. I hope it doesn't develop into anything that really hurts. We'll see. This made me feel better: "The Vatican has upheld a 1996 excommunication decree issued by Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz in

Pictures from the Lions Game

Well, I think this is a first: I'm posting family pictures. These were taken with my camera phone (a technology I just recently learned). The quality isn't great, but I think you can see them well enough. Jack and Michael in front of the limo before

Christmas Article

The Weekend Eudemon

It's an interesting weekend. We have six house guests. Marie's brother and wife and four sons are down for a wedding at Notre Dame. We live about 55 minutes from campus, so they're staying with us. I drank too much wine last night (Yellowtail,

A Sane Jewish Sentiment About Christmas

I saw this kind of thinking get air time last December, but it's nice to see it again: > "I am getting the idea that too many Jews won't be happy until they pull off their own version of the Spanish Inquisition, forcing Christians to

The Brewing Eudemon

Dignity will fall. Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, and he did it with class. Now, Barry Bonds will break it. He has re-signed with the Giants [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061208/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/bbo_winter_meetings], and he needs

Thursday Trifles

Things will be brief this morning. One of my evenings freed up, so I took the four oldest children to see The Nativity Story. I liked it. It dragged a little in the middle, but it brought together three strands--Mary/Joseph, Herod, and the three wise men--in a
