I asked Artificial Intelligence “What is special about Christmas”
I asked Perplexity AI the question. And I asked the free version as well as the so-called Pro version (You can use the pro version four times a day even if you just have the free version). I find perplexity VERY helpful – it’s format is different than when you ask google a question. And…

This morning’s interview with Cardinal Dolan
Very nice with Maria Bartiromo. Starts with the sketch of Jesus on the Cross by Jimmy Lai, a political prisoner in Hong Kong; ends with the Cardinal’s cogent comments on Mystery & Faith. Not sure how long this will be available.

A physician writes about the healthcare insurance morass.
Good essay – not too long – in the NY Times. "What Doctors Like Me Know About Americans’ Health Care Anger" I rushed around the patient as he lay motionless with his eyes closed in the emergency room. He was pale and sweaty, his T-shirt stained with vomit. You didn’t have to be a health-care…
