Never thought we'd make it! Thanks to all my viewers over the last 2 years.

Happy Feastday!

I consider myself an Ignatian in my spirituality, and I'm sending out a Happy Feastday to all my fellow Ignatius fans out there!

I think the Church has done a great disservice to Iggy by not making him a Doctor of the Church, as his spirituality has, positively and negatively, influenced modern development of Catholic theology and philosophy since the Protestant so-called Reformation. Most of the negative influence was not generated by Iggy himself, but by 1960's & 70's pseudo-intellectuals of his Society who thought psychology and sociology were more important than Orthodox Catholic Teaching. In my not-so-humble opinion, this distortion of Ignatian spirituality (along with the suppression of the Society in the 18th century) have kept Iggy from getting his "Doctorate".

Another Year Down the Tubes...

I'm glad (today at least) that I'm not married. I seem to have this bad habit of missing anniversaries. But Gem is celebrating her's and when I looked I found out I started this blog on 07/15/2007. Sorry dear, I'm bad.

Happy Dad's Day to all you Fathers, fathers, and father-types (those of ya'll who exert a good male role to those who need a daddy-figure).

Also, today's the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and it only goes downhill from here.

Sounds like 2 good reasons for a drink *Clink!*

I so love county music for this reason. It may may be 10 AM here in CA, but It's 5 O'clock Somewhere...

California Be Forewarned...

This individual is the most unqualified person to declare his candidacy for California governor. I was living in San Francisco when he was first elected as mayor. He immediately was discovered to be having an affair. Like his predecessor and demigod, "Slick" Willie Brown, all part of the Burton machine of San Francisco along with Nancy Pelosi et. al., he is no Liberal but a Libertine who believes he's above the law. He decided California state law could be ignored with regards to Gay unions ( so called "Gay Marriage"). So let's make sure he stays in San Francisco and out of Sacramento or Washington D. C.!
