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

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
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 more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Looks like it could be a scene in a Quentin Tarantino movie right before some big fight breaks out.
LOL!
The White Crusader.
Man do I love him!
Quentin Tarantino is exactly what I was thinking about.
George Baker, “Little Green Bag” as the soundtrack
I am seeing a 360 degree run around the door opening, Matrix-style.

Vincenzo: ROFL! You do lift my spirits!
Maybe you should be the one to develop the WDTPRS logo… seriously!
Father,
You look like a better looking version of James Gandolphini, but more hair.
ROTFL Vincenzo!!!!!!!!
Vincenzo:
How’d you post that picture?
They actually look like a group of Seminarian Thugs!
What dicastery is Steve Buscemi (far right) going to head?
May I suggest the Pontifical Commission for the Wood-Chipper Destruction of all Guitars and Tambourines?
Okay, here’s my attempt at the Right Stuff………..
Enjoy….
ROFL!!
Fr. Z, you need to put up a link to some folder with miscellaneous photos of you. We photo-editing geeks like to have raw material from which we can work, and all you have now is just that simple photo on your title bar. As you can see, it takes a little doing to make it work. Even Vincenzo had to stretch it a bit.
Glad you liked it. That makes it worth the time.
