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

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
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. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often 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?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?
Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
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.

Hopefully not too long! :)
I hope you won’t be incommunicado for too long. I’m looking forward to your reporting from D.C. and pictures, too. I hope that the Mass will be televised, it is on the guide on EWTN as if it will be.
Prayers for your safe travels, Father. A prayer, too, for all those who will be travelling to attend the Mass. May all be at peace, may all be safe.
This is more likely to be my computer than yours, but for about three days now, I’ve been getting error messages to install a missing plugin (doesn’t say which, or give me an option to search) when I try to watch the birds or your videos.
The only thing I have done to my own computer is to update Firefox. Any ideas? I miss the birds. Have a safe trip.
isabella: I am guessing… guessing… that you need to install Adobe Flash.
I noticed that I couldn’t get on the blog yesterday afternoon, Father Z-but I’m glad that things seemed to have been fixed!
