These are just a few off-the-cuff (what does that mean, anyway?) thoughts which I’m not going to make any great attempt to organize. They’re provoked by two things: one, this remark by Louise in a comment on the previous post: What women seem to want (from my POV, though I am reluctant to extrapolate to…

I finished this earlier in the week, and considered writing a somewhat extensive review. But I have a backlog of things I’ve been trying to write about, and some unfinished correspondence, so I think I’ll just confine myself to this short notice. Those who are very interested in O’Connor are probably going to read the…

Someone took one of the greatest pop songs ever written and did something wonderful with it, and the technical term for the result is awesome. It’s a little over five minutes long. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2897417&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1Stand By Me from David Johnson on Vimeo. Hat tip to my uncle Al for pointing this out to me. (Red)Wire (logo seen…

Imagine the entire sky looking like this: Add green things, flowers, handsome architecture, a pleasantly cool…

You could go here and read the Pope’s entire Easter message, but I was so struck by these passages that I want to repeat them here: Indeed, one of the questions that most preoccupies men and women is this: what is there after death? To this mystery today’s solemnity allows us to respond that death…

This is another camellia. I had a picture of one back in February; at the time the plant was in a pot and the flower was a fallen one, but my wife has since planted the little bush and it bloomed again. Strictly speaking, this is not an Easter flower, as the picture is a…

My parish church, St. Lawrence in Fairhope, Alabama, is a fairly typical middle-class American one. (There’s a link to the parish web site at the end of this post, where you can see some pictures.) As a building it is not the sort of church I like most, but it’s not bad for a contemporary…

So I poured myself a drink and went down to the bay a little while ago to watch the sun set, something I haven’t done for several months—when the days are short it’s harder to find the time. I was immediately sorry that I hadn’t taken my camera, as there was a heron sitting on…

…but if you happen to be within driving distance of Nassau Community College (New York), Thomas Storck will be speaking for distributism there tonight, on the stage with Michael Novak (for democratic capitalism) and Dr. Charles M.A. Clark (for democratic socialism). Should be interesting. I hope someone will put the audio, at least, online. Go…
