Unbelievable.

Amy Winehouse - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Great song - greater interpretation!

it's too late - carole king

One rainy afternoon, while we were driving around... this song came on the radio... and we looked at each other... and we knew it was over. True story.

No wonder I'm in this mood...

Thinking back...

"I feel like letting my freak flag fly..." - "Almost Cut My Hair" - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

"But I'm not giving in an inch to fear,
cause I promised myself this year...
I feel like I owe it to someone..." - Lyrics

Video

The melody of this song says so much more than the lyrics.

Dance wit' me!

When I was in High School girls danced together and held hands and stuff... nobody thought anything of it.

Hot dogs for supper!

That's me in the foreground - with the cool tie, then my little brother Timmy, Dad, Mom, and my sister Beth - my brother Skip was taking the photo.

Remembering Chow Lee.

"Oh come on! Just one kiss - it's not going to kill you!" - Basil Faulty

"The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued a detailed list of inappropriate behaviors for priests, saying they should not kiss, tickle or wrestle children." - Source
.
But who would do that anyway? Unless you are Byzantine rite or a traditionalist (they kiss rings and consecrated hands) - or a relative, who would kiss a priest? And what priest in this day and age would ever dare touch a kid? Especially by tickling - that is like torture and wrestling is just gay. But I guess the rules have to be stated in an age without boundaries.
.
The list includes what is good touch however: "It says priests may still shake children's hands, pat them on the back and give high-fives." I wouldn't even do that.
.
No more "koochi-koos" for baby either! (This is what happens when lawyers write church policy.)

Queen of Heaven rejoice!

One of the Carmelite brothers sent me these photos of an altarpiece panel I did for their Prior. It depicts Christ appearing to Our Lady on Easter Morning. Much of the imagery is taken from the Song of Songs. The panel is slightly more expansive than these detail shots.

The Carmelites are a Diocesan community located in Hopkins, MN at the Church of St. Joseph where Fr. Dvorak, the community's prior, is pastor. For information on their community you might want to contact Br. Alphonsus at this address: alphonsus733@juno.com
