We all need some support emotionally in life to help us get through. This week this wonderful four legged friend with big teeth is the friend you need. If Benedict Arnold had had him as a companion maybe he wouldn’t have hiked off to Canada. Or Machine Gun Kelly could have used him to lift him up as he shot at the FBI. He would make a great mascot for Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World. I’m sure Pope John Paul 2... Read more
Does going to the Traditional Latin Mass instead of the Novus Ordo Mass make you a holier, happier and more spiritually healthy person? Does rejecting the Second Vatican Council make you more loving towards your neighbor? Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 JOHN 4:20 Maria Elena@MariaElenaJMJ (Sep 20, 2023) The... Read more

I always loved fall cause it meant the start of the new school year where I might find that new special friend or possibly a girl friend. It also meant the start of the new fall TV season.

So here is a list of what creative and corporate, truly independent and commercial filmmakers, actors and others have... Read more
Aliens in Mexico? If your expecting a big super story about this news item of the week, you will find it as disappointing as the results of the news story itself. I do mention it as I mention that Father Flanagan of Boys Town may soon be a venereble. And Super Mario Bros. celebrates an anniversary and may we never forget what happened on September 11 in 2001. Plus we learn about the death of a president and the first... Read more
1775 by whatever quirk of history or cosmology, was one heck of a ride around the sun. To understand What I love and How I Write About History click on this particular link. Many facts are taken virbadium with some variations from Wikipedia. 1775 This was a year in which Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and statue of David exist. Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and The Last Supper exist. William Shakespeare’s plays exist The music of Johann Sebastian Bach exists. The novels Don Quixote, Robinson... Read more
This week Pope Francis beatified a whole family who stood up to the Nazi’s. The Catholic family is known as “Markowa Samaritans,”. Józef and Wiktoria Ulma and their seven children took Jesus in to their homes when they sheltered Jewish families from the evil German regime in World War 2 Poland. They took the Road Not Taken by so many others. Including Kristin and I as we went to the High Kings The Road Not Taken concert in Newport... Read more
What is the difference between reading or watching a video about a particular place, current or historical, as opposed to actually going there and experiencing it first hand? When visiting Ireland for example, I got to see not only the famous places, but also the cultural differences between Ireland and the United States. That is something that I could not have really experienced just reading about it in a travel book. I got the privilege of seeing family members I... Read more
Usually I write my ‘Last Week In Life‘ post detailing what happened in history and the current news the previous week. August was a tad bit busy, having gone on a vacation to Colorado. I didn’t want to delay my week in review a few weeks while I was busy whitewater rafting and horseback riding, so I thought I would gather all my history for the whole month of August and the few days surrounding it and compile it in...

It’s the end of August and I have some concrete but still vague and undeveloped plans for the fall in terms of writing and creating. Some ideas of mine are racing around my mind waiting to take off. They started their engines already but some of these ideas have pulled over in the pit stop and are having their tires rotated and all the stuff that goes on with cars in racing. I want to start fresh and anew like... Read more
