Sunday Night Journal — May 8, 2011 I was out of town this weekend and didn't get back in time to do any writing, so I am revisiting a couple of old SNJs which had not yet been moved from my original site to this one. I was thinking about Perelandra the other day after reading…

Weekend Music Note: I'm posting this early because I'll be offline Friday and most of Saturday. Somewhere around 1981 or 1982, at an outdoor arts festival in Huntsville (Alabama), I saw a troupe of dancers perform to this music.

LOITERING OR TRESPASSING FORBIDDEN Ok, but which one?

I'm curious as to what others think about it. Although I was (am) a huge admirer and in a more-than-formal sense a follower of the late Pope, and think "Pope Saint John Paul II the Great" is a justifiable title, I'm still a little bothered by the speed of these proceedings. For that matter I…

Checking the headlines this morning, I see that the loss of life from yesterday's tornadoes has been far greater than I thought last night. Far greater: I can't recall anything even approaching this in the past. I lived in Tuscaloosa, where most of the deaths seem to have taken place, for over 10 years (that's where…
