You loved him on the side-bar. Here he is in his new retirement residence – since 28 February 2013.
“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

What on Earth has happened to my fingers? It should be* sorry,* nothing else. Bah.
Oh good! I love Basil but I bet your main page loads faster now…
He has his own little Castel Cricetus. :D
I miss him on the main page, he always made me smile and stop to feed him as I read my way through the blog.
