Can’t let the day go by without wishing you all a nice Valentine’s Day, Downton Abbey style.
(Though wasn’t this week’s episode a bit much?)

How to Love

The following video is inappropriate for kids, but I hope you’ll take a look at it.
It’s not from an artist or genre ordinarily to my taste, but I watched after reading about it at Dr. Alveda King’s blog. I’m impressed and heartened, and think you will be too.
There Be Forgiveness
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Have you seen There Be Dragons?
I haven’t, and a few reviews from people I respect have suggested it’s not that successful as a film.
One complaint I’ve heard frequently is that if you’re looking for a biopic of St. Escriva, you’ll be disappointed. Though his life and character are apparently treated with realism and sensitivity, the bulk of the story actually centers on his foil, and many seem to... READ MORE
Law & Order v. Roe v Wade

Check out Holidays by Google.
The feast the Catholic Church observes today, of course, is Our Lady of Sorrows. I don’t suppose a doodle would be appropriate, but here’s the post I wrote for the occasion last year.

When I was ten years old, I was at a friend’s house after school. Her mother had taped Oprah Winfrey’s landmark interview with Michael Jackson. My friend wanted to watch it, so she put in the tape.
When Jackson’s face came on the screen, I said, “Oh, is that his wife?”
It was 1993. The singer was incredibly famous. I had no idea what he looked like.
As you can guess, I wasn’t much exposed to pop... READ MORE
