As we absorb the historic significance of last Tuesday’s election results and move on with our lives, I suddenly feel a sense of renewal and hope that I haven’t EVER felt after an election, and probably have NEVER felt in my lifetime thus far. I liken the feeling to what our parents’ generation must have [...]

The winds of change are blowin’ blowin’ blowin’ upon us. Can you hear the whistle? Most of you reading this have heard me talking of this for the past few months. “Shut it!” might be your reaction. But you might just be a little entertained if you stick it [...]

Even though the Pontiff’s visit was a few weeks back, my harried April schedule has forced me to postpone my Papal reflections as a member of the esteemed St. Patrick’s Choir. So now that I have a moment (and two rival blog entries to refute) I figured it would be a good time to [...]

Hi all–You may have thought that I abandoned my blogging duties, but I think it was more of a loss of urgency. Nothing like a little sibling competition to kick it into gear. Quite frankly, David’s new blog was prettier than mine, and that just won’t do, vanillamist.
So here I am–new format, new [...]
