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

“Penjing isn’t going this time.”
Oh no! I hope someone at the Sabine Farm will be taking care of it this time!
Bon Voyage, Pere Z!
Is Penjing being punished?
No punishment is involved. It was a matter of flight upgrade availability.
Godspeed and safe and fun trip, Father. Hopefully your coffee blog will be fun for everyone. :)
BTW, I was thinking what Geoffrey said, hope some at home takes care of PJ.
flight upgrade availability. So what you’re saying is that you could be in first class, but you can’t if you bring along PJ. Perhaps some roses and candy are in order when you come back to the farm…
