Brigid and I took off Wednesday morning and got back late Friday afternoon. Johnstown is a fairly historic town in Fulton County. It’s about 45 miles northeast of Albany, so an under 3 hour drive from Croton. Easy to stay in touch with Tim in my office (of course he went golfing for two of…

I had posted a few days ago about this "Pope Francis canonizes the "Martyrs of Damascus"  so this is three minutes of more information.  So far "he's proclaimed 926 during his papacy." Nice to post this on a Sunday.  

I posted this yesterday Good article: "The Chronically Underestimated Kamala Harris"  and coincidentally this article was in yesterday's NY Times. No mention of her fanatical support and promotion for abortion  Harris Rejects Religious Exemptions for Abortion. That's Harris's faith? The Rev. Dr. Amos Brown was taking his usual Sunday afternoon nap in late July when…

From National Review online. Should be free to read – no paywall. If I had to place a bet on who is going to win in – I'm afraid it's "Madame President". The Chronically Underestimated Kamala Harris On the menu today: I have no beef with Charlie Cooke’s brilliant trilogy, “A-hole, Lunatic, Idiot.” But I…

This past Sunday and interesting stories. The Martyrs of Damascus were killed in 1860. Three of them were siblings in the Maronite Catholic Church  The Three Massabki Brothers. They were all killed for refusing to convert to Islam.

This post is triggered by a request to supply a note and possibly pictures for a book being prepared to celebrate a certain person’s birthday. Can’t reveal who, since it might leak out… Among other things I sent the two pictures below – a selfie from a couple of days ago and our wedding picture,…

Maybe so but in 2019 the Pew organization did a poll on who was definitely going to vote Democrat and who was definitely going to vote Republican – no matter the candidates or issues. 40% of probable voters said they would vote Democrat no matter what, with only 29% saying no matter what they would…

Great. Glad they were recognized. Meanwhile we will spend 1.57 trillion over the next ten years to "modernize and upgrade" our weapons. To paraphrase Archbishop Fulton Sheen, abortion and nuclear bombs are two sides of the same coin. Nihon Hidankyo, grassroots group, is recognized for its efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons The…

Pure luck that I stumbled across this today. Born in 1541, founded a religious order, Clerics Regular of the Mother of God and died in 1609 caring for the sick during a plague. He is the patron saint of pharmacists named such in 2006 as he was a pharmacist before becoming a priest! John lived…
