"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Dolce far niente. [“far niente”… ha! Right now it’s just “un pò di meno”.]
Ahhhhh..very nice.
Does look relaxing…almost resort-like, or on a cruise ship floating on the sea (but maybe that’s just me in need of vacation). Don’t tell me that the pictured martini represents an answer to the which one is Fr. Z’s Martini vs. Manhattan post a couple of weeks ago!
EWTN: That is a very good question. Thanks for raising it!
Come to think of it, I don’t think a resort or cruise ship would be that relaxing…how about the Italian country-side? Yes, that’s better (a girl can dream can’t she, at least before reality sets in?).
Actually, I think it’s called vacation deprivation (I haven’t been away from work for more than a week in over 5 years – pitiful I know).
BTW.. the flowers were immediately taken to the altar.
The martini and the apple stayed with me for a while.
I’ve always figured there must be at least three Father Z’s to blog on top of all the rest.
dig: Maybe there are!
Looks your enjoying a nice Spring afternoon Father.
I’m curious about the translation of this, if any one can help: Nemo tibi fabulas uendat, non latret rabies haereticorum de angulo. (It is tangentially related to Fr. Z’s glasses as evidenced by an earlier post). I also love the lighting of that picture–it looks like a still life portrait.
Looks good to me! Extra-dry with two olives!
As my cousin in Campania says: Tutti OK!
Just curious, but what is a typical day for Fr. Z??
I know you say Mass and keep the blog going, but I can’t picture you staring at the computer or bird feeder the rest of the day.
Nice picture, Father Z! The flowers look fresh and pretty, and the apple looks yummy!
The martini looks good, though I myself am a teetotaller.
And it’s so wonderful to see the sunlight on everything!
Gin or vodka?

Google translates: “Nemo tibi fabulas uendat, non latret rabies haereticorum de angulo. ” as “No one let him sell you stories, not of heretics, causes the barking madness of a corner of the”
Sorry it was too funny not to post!
What a strikingly beautiful still life . It would be wonderful painted in Pastels. Hmmmm
And now we know. Subtle Father. The martini. And I voted for the manhattan. Oh well.
That Latin, from Augustine’s sermon 238,3 is:
Augustine had a dim view of heretics.
From the photo, that martini appears shaken, not stirred (a la James Bond). Personally, I prefer mine stirred. I comes out crystal clear, with no ice film on top.
