I've decided to come here on Mondays to point you to articles of mine that are newly available, either on my own site or elsewhere, as well as other important news.
Over the weekend I cleaned up my main webpage a bit.
I added a review of Sisters by John Fialka here.
and
review of Celluloid Saints, a study of sanctity in film (duh), here.
I posted two columns:
That Damn Rabbit Column that's gotten people so riled up
and
I’m scheduled to be on Al Kresta’s radio show Tuesday, February 11 at 4:30 Eastern.
I fiddled with the left rail over there. I restored the email link – I had removed it last Monday because I didn’t want to be inundated with mail. I got about 100 emails, anyway, and that was enough.
I’ve also restored the “current reads” section. That’s a bit of myself that I’ve had on the web in various forms since I started in 1998, so why not keep it here? I also added links to the various categories of articles, essays and reviews that you can find on my website.
Although I really miss the kind of blogging I was doing, I’m already finding the hiatus to be of great benefit. I’m re-accessing parts of my imagination that had been blocked by the intense news and instant commentary I was engaging in, and, by the way, enjoying. I hope I can bring it all into balance and return in some limited way in the late fall, as I have told several of you in emails.
But in the meantime, keep showing up here on Mondays for updates and and a cup of coffee. Or, if you’re like me, Diet Coke.
Most important:
I ask your prayers for my father, who is having major, major surgery on Thursday.
Sts. Cosmas and Damian, pray for us
Fellow bloggers...if you could spread the word about my limited continuing existence, I'd appreciate it.
God bless!
