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

ROME 23/10 – Day 09: Lunch with a friend and some gallows humor
Fiery Helios drew his chariot above the Roman horizon at 07:13 and it will soon set at 18:41. The Ave Maria bell should ring at 19:00. It is the Feast of St. John Leonardi. Invoke him the next time they … Read More
UPDATED: My View For Awhile: Rome-ward – CANCELLED and REBOOKED
I’m at JFK waiting for the redeye to Rome. The food in the club was remarkably good. Too bad they are gutting the FF program. Prayers downloaded. Gotta catch up. The lines for the flight to Sao Paolo were stretched … Read More

My View For Awhile: (South) Carolina on my mind

My View For Awhile: Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
I’ve been on the road for a few days. One needs a visit to Buc-ee’s. However, I think I will never visit one of these places on a summer weekend again unless perhaps early in the morning. I was jammed. … Read More

ROME 06/3 Day… My View For Awhile: Brooklyn to SOCOM
I was not in Rome to see today’s sunrise at 0534. Instead, I was awake to see the sunrise in Brooklyn at 0526, though I admit I went back to sleep for a while. I’ll probably stay on my feet … Read More
