Terri Hendrix: Places In Between As with a great deal of music that I like, I owe my acquaintance with this artist to my old friend Robert Woodley. Places In Between is an uneven album, but it’s made me want to hear more of Hendrix’s work, a testimony partly to the merits of the music…

The heat has arrived here. It will be oppressively hot and humid–90-plus on both scales–most of the time from now until October. As a result of having lived most of my life in a hot, humid climate, pictures like this one tend to have a hint of paradise for me: This is my son Will…

She's going to work for the Newman Society. Both parties win; it would be hard to think of a better match. May God bless their work. Pre-TypePad http://js-kit.com/for/lightondarkwater.com/comments.js

I've heard a number of people, predominantly but not exclusively women, over the years remark on having nightmares about being back in school facing some academic calamity, such as an exam for which they are totally unprepared.

And although I’ve lived almost my entire life in a hot…

A Speculation on Pentecost Today at Mass I had a brief glimpse of what Pentecost might have been like. Two men sitting behind me were annoying me with loud muttering, loud enough to be distracting but not quite loud enough to be understood. Then as the homily began I heard quite clearly one of them…

Joe Satriani: Flying in a Blue Dream This one is probably of interest mainly to lovers of flash guitar, but to these it offers a lot.

How very pleasant to say that! As a southern white male Christian I don't get many opportunities for it. Sadly, though, I'm only a victim of my own stupidity. I am having massive self-inflicted computer problems. I won't bore you with the details but suffice to say that I know how Wile E. Coyote feels…
