For now, maybe.
I am exhausted from trying to work this out.
About this blog…
“This blog is 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

That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add 200 $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
So far 90% of the total, 179 towards the 200 target.

Father,
If your host allows access to “phpmyadmin” or a similar interface, I would recommend making a backup of your database every week for your own records.
Fr. Z:
“I am exhausted from trying to work this out.”
Isn’t it much better to speak face to face, the way us humans are meant to communicate?
Isn’t this whole internet business a huge waste of time? (Please everyone: do not respond to this unless you NEVER use the internet).
Andrew: Isn’t it much better to speak face to face, the way us humans are meant to communicate?
I would say, in the case of many, no.

Father:
The “talkback session” for The Pope & The Witch is tonight after the penultimate performance. I needed badly to do some research today as I will be attending, along with Jeremy Stanbery of Epiphny Productions and othes.
The devil is still loose. My ISP has been down since 5:30 a.m. this morning. I’m now over at the Highland Park Library in St Paul doing my research. I went over to your site to pick up a copy of your email to Prexy Bruininks. And you were down. Fortunately I found your great letter on Google.
Is this a time when it’s totally inappropriate to speak of ‘detachment from wordly things’?
Glad to see you back again Fr!
Eheu, sit transit gloriam mundi
Fr. Z: Glad to see you are back. It was sad to think so much good writing had been lost in space.
Father,
It’s gratifying to see everything has been restored.
