A couple days ago received my Catholic Men's Quarterly in the mail. Once again, some good articles. For instance, I had never known much about Joyce Kimer for instance (other than what I leaned in the James Cagney/Patrick O'Brien movie "The Fighting 69th". The current issue also has a great article on St. Arnold's lifelong promotion of beer: "From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into this World". Check it out.

Heard on the radio yesterday:

Interviewer: Would Dr. Martin Luther King's style of bringing his religious beliefs into politics be appropriate today?

Expert: Oh yes. We must bring our deepest beliefs into the political life.

Interviewer: Does this apply to everyone?, even the religious Right?

Expert: Well I must caution you-and Dr. King would agree with me if he were here today-that only beliefs that are about love and inclusion should enter the political arena.....

Curley's have been fighting colds for a week or so. I finally caught mine over the weekend and am miserable. Hopefully my voice will last through a day of teaching.

One dog had puppies of the weekend (6) and another is due any day now. The first we only figured out was pregnant about 2 weeks ago. So now we have a bunch more dogs to get rid of. What to do? Have a yard sale with free puppies. (Hey it worked with the kittens.)

Odd weather around here for January. It was 75 (F) here yesterday. We finished covering the garden with a black tarp. It may be a little late. One section has been covered for several months. The idea is that the black will heat up the soil and drive out (or kill) unwanted insects and bacteria (or something) in the soil. We will see how it works. Last year's crop was disappointing.

That's all for today. Oremus pro invicem!
