Haha. I follow the author of this brief essay (Simcha Fisher, who has 10 children and I think is a convert from Judaism) a little bit – I get her few times a week emails. I think her writing ranges from outstanding to mediocre (like mine) but this is pretty good. This is just how…

Comment from three weeks ago, which didn’t make the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC, etc, etc. Doesn’t fit their narrative. The pandemic “forced us to confront two unavoidable dimensions of human existence: sickness and death,” Pope Francis said. “In doing so, it reminded us of the value of life, of every individual human life…

Pending an investigation – step aside Gov. Andrew Cuomo needs to step aside immediately pending an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace. In doing so, he would simply be taking the same medicine he has prescribed for the Catholic Church. If a priest is accused of sexual misconduct, the Church’s zero tolerance…

Rush Limbaugh, conservative radio host, dead at 70 Limbaugh’s death at age 70 was announced Wednesday on his influential conservative radio program, by his wife, Kathryn. Limbaugh announced last February that he was…

Got to this off the Stepinac twitter feed – about the only thing on twitter (it's mostly a sewer) that I follow. Adrian Griffin Jr., the No. 7-ranked senior in the nation And this is off lohud – Stepinac is a high school basketball powerhouse (not exactly my sport). Hit this link for the whole…

We currently have six of them (yes, insane. Four cages in or formerly quite lovely back room where we used to have nice dinners, etc) so we all need to study the video below. The past weekend we figured out that Dusty, our oldest chinchilla, joined "the family" around Christmas, 2008. So she's well over…
