As a long time, viewer of Canadians, it occurs to me that Trump has done more to unify Canadians and to make them aware of their strengths and virtues than its on leaders!

Reminds me of what I have left undone! Married to a girl from Worcester and revisited it many times, I, We, have yet to pay a visit to the museum.

Thank you for your effort which helps to hold open the breath of the Episcopal, indeed, a breath that belongs to the "c"atholic church.

Ah the agonies of publication! Love it.

Carney's speech which I have just read in full is remarkable. It would rank high in the realm of what we use to call statesmanship. Many in the US are grateful. One worry, hopefully no one suggests that he should get the Nobel Peace Prize!

Would like to go inside!

Wish I could join you!

One would think that labeling some a terrorist without the need to justify its use would be judicially and publicly enjoined. To the extent that one is invested in such cavalier usage, in the long run, will come with a price, namely not recognizing the real thing when it comes.

Well religious bigotry was bad enough and not to be excused, but the really serious stuff begins with racial science be it Germany in regard to the Jew or in American in regard to the black.

Did enjoy seeing the mosaic. Thanks for you post.

Interesting, but wonder why the sixth century mosaic above the doors of San Vitale Ravenna.

Recently been dealing with Kathryn Tanner's work on economics. It seems promising but a long way to go to reach us on the local level. So I am glad to see your engagement with the issue.

I would be interested in how this discussion could be expanded. I find that the capacity of parochial level of the church in such matters is missing. I know that the parochia bears part of the responsibility for this. But that preclude the other part from doing something.

Not sure what to say. In the English book it was required to be said at Christmas, which in a Charles William's novel is taken as an excuse for not attending church on Christmas! Christologically it is sublime, but then there are the naughty bits condemning heretics.

A painful reminder. In truth we have not come that far, that we might be enthralled it the same awful necessity.

Curiously, has resulted in broader coverage, as e.g. I never watch 60 Minutes. And longer legs, as the story about the story has its own life. Which is important as the public's attention span fades quickly. Thanks for the post!

Thanks. There once a time ago, but the experience lingers.

University of Nebraska Lincoln is making similar cuts, reveals that there are more administrators, at higher salaries, than teachers. Cuts are driven by economics, whose measures have nothing to do with how one learns.
