I’ll bet we could have a little fun. Maybe even send them some new texts.
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.

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?

Loved it, although it’s a changed world when the military sings of having “battle Boos”.

Kathleen10: It’s a changed world indeed. Certainly there are bad days and human imperfections, but there is a plentiful inventory of leadership failures in the military and the Church these days.
I didn’t actually pay attention to that term “battle boo”. Sadly, …the definition I find rather matches the context. …and here I’d been thinking the drill sergeant simply came up with something that fit the rhyme….
