The Weekend Eudemon
A nice day. The storm has passed (actually, my corner in southern Michigan
barely got nicked), and I have little to do today, except deal with the Seven,
two of whom slept with me last night (Meg and Max--5 and 3) and trailed me to my
study this morning.
The Brewing Eudemon
One of our own tops Hollywood: Nicole Kidman is the top female in the Wood,
earning $17 million per movie
[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,233259,00.html]. I haven't read anything
about her Catholicism lately, but according to stories last summer

Last Day of Freedom Eudemon
Tonight, I have nothing to do. After tonight? Social, service, or family
obligations nine out of the next ten days. One is very pleasant (tree decorating
with the family), but the rest are simple time consumers (committee meetings,
take care of house and children while Marie is out, a perfectly
The Wednesday Eudemon
I saved the best for second: Mark Steyn's obituary in The Atlantic Monthly. It's
the best regular feature in the magazine, and in the December issue he has
cranked out his best one: funny, anecdote-filled, disconcerting, with a Catholic
kicker at the end. It'
The Tuesday Eudemon
The Atlantic Monthly came yesterday. All sorts of good stuff. The issue revolves
around the most influential Americans of all time
[http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200612/influentials-main]. There's the top 100,
plus a bunch of sidebar articles on the most influential poets, filmmakers, etc.
A few
The Moanin' Eudemon
Ah, my favorite weekend of the year has ended. Most sad indeed.
But I have Cyber Monday to perk me up. Today is the one of the biggest online
shopping days of the year. People go to their offices and shop online. I think
I'll pass. I have
Something for Sunday Morning
Marriage implies the negation of self, and the negation of self is an invitation
to God. When married, the individuals are no longer two, but are one flesh. Mt.
19:6. The self-centeredness that is the essence of the flesh is, by the very act
of marriage, crippled. The
The Weekend Eudemon
Ah, peaceful Saturday morning. It is the Saturday of Eric (not to be confused
with the Summer of George
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Summer_of_George_(Seinfeld_episode)], but dang
close to the same thing).
What's on my schedule today? Blog, buy a CD organizer, read,
The Black Eudemon
Yes, a black eudemon. It's not my effort at multi-culturalism. It's a simple
recognition of a day that has grabbed America and continues to puzzle me: Black
Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the year,
shin-bleeding day.
I understand a
