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 … Read more
Brigid out for a walk a couple of days ago, on top of the dam. But not too many people on top. Almost look like black and white photos – but they are not. Or below the dam in the park. Can just make out one car.
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 … Read more
Brigid and I were in Washington the 28th to the 30th, with a swing down into Virginia to see my brother Jim and his wife Maria. We were in DC for the March for Life, which was mainly virtual but there were still some good activities which we were happy to get to. Thursday evening … Read more

He would know much better than I since he was interviewed many times by King and knew him well. And I hardly ever watched Larry King. Pretty famous CNN host – his show ran 25 years. 87 years … Read more
An editorial from last year, on the 47th anniversary of Roe V. Wade. Of course the March for Life this year will be a Virtual March – and it's next Friday the 29th. Pro-lifers are marching today, as they do every year, to commemorate a great evil that was done in January 1973 and to … Read more
I rarely post anything like this but on the very offhand recommendation of Joe we watched the eight part British Series "Broadchurch". Actually only season one – there are two more for us to look forward to… Great story, great acting, great writing. One catch – it's on Netflix, so if you don't have Netflix, … Read more
Decided to wait til after the inauguration to post this. Stuff sent to me by several people who will go nameless. My sons follow alternative media and when I told them I was surprised by this, they said "You shouldn't be." Naive old me.
