So like so many I thought it wouldn't be hard keeping up with a blog. After all, I'm caught yapping and typing all the time. Heh. Not exactly shall we say. So what has been taking up all my time? Let's see...
- Watching the World Baseball Classic - yes, it really did turn out better than I'd expected, even though the U.S. didn't win. Good baseball is always worth watching, no matter who is playing.
- Catching up on my back reading (I'm up to January!) of Billiards Digest, Catholic Digest and FIRST THINGS.
- Trying to figure out how to get my to-be-work system to update its Gentoo installation to work properly with their new modular X configuration. Lesson learned: next time read the whole document instead of skipping ahead. *sigh*
- Trying to keep up with all my friends over at Catholic-Pages.com. The discussions are generally lively and the people are just plain smart. As much as I thought I knew about the Catholic faith, these people continue to amaze me with what's still to be learned.
- And finally I've been slowly making my way through Pope Benedict's 2005 book, A New Song For The Lord. While it's not the perfect book, since it's based on a collection of lectures and interviews, all through the pages I'm finding unique insights and ways of seeing I hadn't contemplated before.
- This is the first time the Bishop of Manchester has not been the active head of Catholic Charities.
- The recent, err, issues concerning the lay leaders of some of the Catholic Charities in areas such as Boston and San Francisco.
