So, this week the Catholic Church gets a new pope…and Catholic Lane gets a new editor-in-chief — yours truly! As you may recall, I have been as associate editor at Catholic Lane for the past year and a half or so, managing the Life Issues and Bioethics section. Sadly, my former editor-in-chief — and CL [...]

Here he is again. This silly, stinky pup has been the one and only man in my life for the past thirteen years (God, give me a few more, at least!)…with one exception. February 14, 2001: My Papal Valentine What can I say? It was love at first sight. JP II, I love you! Previous [...]

Regretably, things have been pretty quiet on the blog this week. That’s because… 1. On Monday I had half of my wisdom teeth pulled. Is it just me or is this always such an incredibly unpleasant sight: Haven’t had to use prescription pain meds since Monday, but my mouth is still pretty sore…and a little [...]

One of those little black balls of fluff is a newborn Coco Kitty in May of 1993(with sweet, sweet momma Cassie Cat): Loot at the precious!: And here she is all grown up just a few short months ago: After 19 years, it’s hard to believe that she’s really gone. Though stuffed full of boxes, [...]

Not that I thought this was going to be a piece of cake, but, wow. I was not planning on taking an entire week off blogging, but I just haven’t had much time to sit down long enough to do any significant writing or even a short blog post in the past week. I arrived [...]

My, but you are a curious bunch! Hello and welcome!! I knew I would get a bounce when Jen generously gave me a shout-out on her blog the other day, but, I just checked my stats and…WOW! You guys far exceeded my expectations! Seriously, this is the biggest bounce in views I’ve seen here since [...]

The one and only man in my life: Say Hello to My Little Friend. Hard to believe that this old man will be THIRTEEN years old this year. He’s a monster, but I love him.

It’s a rare warm, sunny day here in Perdido Key, FL and I’ve been sitting outside listening to the crashing waves and enjoying this gorgeous view as I work on my MacBook: And I’m being surprisingly productive! I could really get used to this. Anyone care to donate to the Reflections of a Paralytic beach [...]

Dear readers – I’m excited to let you know that I’ve been asked to be an associate editor over at CatholicLane.com. I’ll be in charge of their Pro-Life and Catholic Bioethics sections. I started this week and I think I’m getting the hang of it. It’s mostly behind the scenes work, publishing other people’s stuff, [...]

I don’t think I ever shared this on here. Last year I was a guest on The Catholic Revolver online radio show with Jerry Weber. The interview starts a little after the 4 minute mark and runs for almost the whole hour. So, if you’ve got some time to kill and want to know a [...]
