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

Vancouver – Chinese Food
The weather cleared today just enough so that I could see that there might be mountains around Vancouver. I did have a chance to view the city from the heights. In the evening I had the pleasure of going out … Read More
Vancouver sights
They say there are mountains around Vancouver. I don’t believe it. There is only a solid gray science fiction like void of clouds. I could be in Gary, Indiana, for all the mountains I see here. Anyway… without mountains, I … Read More
Seattle… just passing through
I have zoomed into Seattle on my way to Vancouver. Sadly I am stuck in the airport, but the view coming in was nice. I have a friend who loves the mountains out here, for whom I post a couple … Read More
Windswept House…
… Finch. Red Alert! These guys are having a hard time getting onto the feeders today. Often they fly backwards, and navigate on to the surface… amazing aeronauts, really. Bout with a plow. "WHAT THE… !?!" They always manage to … Read More

Of Duct Tape
I love duct tape. I prefer to call it 100 MPH Tape, as in the military, or, as the Germans call it Panzer Tape… but whatever you call it, it is good stuff. I am presently trying to fix the … Read More
WDTPRS POLL: Color of Advent Vestments – Wherein Fr. Z rants
Here is my annual rant on blue vestments for Advent (see the POLL results about that). "But Father! But Father!", you might be saying. "Aren’t the confused liberal dinosaurs dying off? Aren’t blue vestments cliché? Yes and yes. Nevertheless, there … Read More

The Feeder Feed
At the Sabine Feeders a variety of woodpeckers swoop in to feed. This is Hairy Woodpecker. Here is a triumphant Red-Bellied Woodpecker. This is Downy Woodpecker, smaller than Hairy. And the Missus. And then there is the relentless TEAM GOLDFINCH. … Read More
