You do not have to look long or hard to find something hilarious in everyday life . Here’s my recent experience with one such encounter. I hope my words will do justice to this Three Dog Circus. On a recent beautiful spring day I decided to take my two little dogs for a walk around…… Continue reading Three Dog Circus

Suffering: Three things I know
For the past few weeks the idea of human suffering has been in the fore front of my mind. It started when I heard a talk given by Ken Overberg, SJ at the beginning of Lent on human suffering and our interpretation of it. Fr. Overberg made it clear that suffering is not God’s punishment…… Continue reading Suffering: Three things I know
I Voted Pro Life
I voted for Pro Life candidates in this last election, following my conscious and the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and the social justice stance of the Catholic Church. Being Pro Life means we should respect and support human life from “womb to tomb,” to quote the term used in Great Britain after WW II…… Continue reading I Voted Pro Life
Alternate Realities
A certain person with whom we had dinner a few days ago said something that almost caused my head to explode in regards to President Trump’s 77 minute press conference held on Thursday Feb. 16th at the White House. Here’s the exact words he spoke, “I was so tickled when Trump spanked the press the…… Continue reading Alternate Realities
Unxpected Blessings
Yesterday on our home visits for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, my colleague and I visited V and B. They live in a tiny two room apartment above a store front on an inner-city street near our parish church. B has a job as a cook at a restaurant in one of the suburbs…… Continue reading Unxpected Blessings

“He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of lowly esteem.” – Mary of Nazareth [circa 2,000 years ago] I cannot seem to come up with anything snarky or witty to write regarding the “carnage” that is taking place in Washington since Trump has assumed office and went into a maniacal…… Continue reading Topple the Mighty from their Thrones
Bizarro World and Coverage for Everybody
“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane. ” — Martin Luther King, Jr. I have already accepted that we are now living in Bizarro World, but the latest news from the Washington Post interview of Donald Trump by By Robert Costa and Amy Goldstein January 15th has everyone’s head’s…… Continue reading Bizarro World and Coverage for Everybody
The Sun is Stalking Me
The stalking started when I set up my beach chair and assorted paraphernalia for a nice stint on the deserted white sands of Laguna Beach, Florida. My plan was to while away the afternoon reading and watching the waves roll in from the Gulf. But as soon as I got settled, I realized that the…… Continue reading The Sun is Stalking Me
Clowns & Jokers
Well I think I’m in a better place since my last post. And I have decided on two courses of action for the next four years of a Trump Presidency. First and foremost I will laugh. I will watch every SNL skit, every irreverent video lambasting Washington politics that I can find and listen to…… Continue reading Clowns & Jokers
Post Election Blues
Sixteen years ago I was innocent. I did not know how to think beyond my own family, tribe, and religion. Sadly I had little empathy for the other, although I thought I did. When George W. Bush won the election for US President, not with the popular vote, but by a vote of the conservative…… Continue reading Post Election Blues
