My Weekend

...and the most exciting thing is to catch up on Greek drama and the Wall Street Journal.

"Gate 14 doesn't think any one of the candidates is going to make their lives better."

The Cardinal Arinze webcast. It is decidedly not interesting to just listen to the cardinal talk to these people. It is VERY interesting to watch him. The good Cardinal is hilarious, actually, when describing pro-choicers: "Tell the senator, 'I am opposed to shooting all of the senators, all of the people in the congress... but if somebody else wanted to do it, well that's pro-choice, I have no problem with that." Or his idea for sending the Swiss Guard to arrest John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, etc etc etc.

"Take heart. Suffering, when it climbs highest, lasts but a little time" - Aeschylus. Read this line in The Greek Way, which has become a fascinating read this week. I first heard about it as the book RFK read after his brother was killed.

Go find the two explosions marked "attack," and then look at just about every other nuclear test ever done - and then think about what didn't happen.

Two options: turn on the weather channel, or flip a coin.

Mmm, yeah, I never worked this hard in AF ROTC.

From this morning's meditation in Magnificat: "Punishment... brings the sinner to contrition of heart... and thus the sinner puts aside his iniquities, if only for a short while, and seeks forgiveness for his sins." Said in the same tone as yesterday's In Conversation With God: "The worst Rosary is the one left unsaid," I found it to be a comforting statement about (my) spiritual life. St. Alphonsus Ligouri also encouraged me: "If you have many distractions at prayer, that prayer of yours may well be upsetting the devil a great deal." So that's nice.

Moon River just played on the iPod. I've got nothing to hide: I love Audrey's movies.



Benjamin Linus is... Beaker? (the joke is already old, but whatever...). LOST is back on Thursday!!!!

How awesome would it have been if 'Ben' had told Jack and Locke that his name was 'Beaker' instead of 'Henry'?
