Sometimes it is painfully obvious to me that I’m stuck musically somewhere between 1984-1995. YouTube has been my salvation on various occassions, allowing me to look up long-forgotten videos by bands I played constantly in my youth.
Two band-fronting female vocalists that I never failed to have in my CD player were Maria McKee of Lone [...]

It really is all about keeping things in their proper perspective, isn’t it?

Sorry for my absence of late. I’m in the frantic last week of playing little league commissioner as well as beginning a 3-day work-related workshop today so my online time is pretty sparse. Be back soon!
Two movies. Two choices.

I am anxiously awaiting the opening of a movie this Friday…highly anticipated and a must see. And it’s not The Dark Knight. This Friday audiences will have a definite choice in movies: a dark, gothic and cynical drama…or a light-hearted, bouncy, and optimistic musical.
Oh of course I’ll be trying to find time to make it [...]

Seeing the Pope at WYD2005 changed her life.
An interesting list of Catholic converts. Sinners and Saints, one and all. (Ever notice that saints consider themselves sinners, while sinners consider themselves to be saints?)
Fr. Pat O’Connor lists the traits of an ideal husband. Pretty good list to have handy if you have a daughter (or a [...]

As a teen the first thing I did each morning while sitting at the counter scarfing down cereal before school was turn to the comics page in the Omaha World-Herald. One of the guilty pleasure comic strips I read religiously was Gil Thorp. Being a high school athlete it just seemed a natural fit, and [...]

The Minor Loss

Regretfully I am unable to remember or locate the person responsible for the short poem below. It was one that brought an ironic sort of comfort to me when we lost a child to miscarriage six summers ago. When you lose a child in this manner you join a club that you never knew existed. [...]
Imperfect Prayer

Sarah Reinhard penned a good reminder to those of us who all too often think our prayers lack merit because they are not “perfect”.
The Book of O

I can’t help myself and am giving attention to an inanity that is well…just plain silly. I cannot decide whether this is some very good fictional writing or a talentless hack getting paid for making a mockery of writing. Probably both.
Pretty danged scary fiction at that!
“The Written Testament is the shorter of the two. Apparently, [...]
