A Benedictine mind trying to live a Franciscan life. Yeah, it's complicated. “Preach the gospel always. If necessary use words.” — Francis of Assisi

@NancyAFrench @DavidAFrench Traveled from NY to South Bend to attend CFC Chapter and decided to go Amtrak coach because it was relatively cheap and “I was in the navy and can sleep anywhere.” Turns out I’m 68 not 28, so yeah…. Upgraded to a horribly expensive roomette for the return trip.

In a world increasingly inclined toward Jew-hatred and Holocaust denialism, this is a must-subscribe. Hard reading, often, but necessary reading.

@japan_nobunaga I live in a New York City apartment, but my building has a flagpole out front and flies the flag every day.

@emzanotti Dang. Now I want rum French toast.

@lymanstoneky @JonahDispatch I’m 68, and I’m not old. I’m just well aged. You know, like fine wine and cheese. Um, ok, maybe not cheese. Nevermind, carry on.

I know someone will tell me this is AI.

I know.

But it’s a banger.

[Br. Bill Paine, CFC @BillPaine1]

@JonahDispatch Love it!! I knew AI had to be good for something.

@stoolpresidente @emzanotti Isn’t this a scene from Idiocracy?

@The7Line I’d rather have early season yips than the all-too-common pattern of a strong start followed by a late season collapse. At least this way I can hold onto delusional hope.

Alleluia, Christ is risen!

Happy Easter, everyone 🤗

@JonahDispatch Straight to dad joke jail with you! 😆

@emzanotti I love how every culture has some form of fried dough, but zeppole are the crack cocaine of fried dough. So, so addictive!

@emzanotti I’d be more concerned about the ciborium, but either way the kids are still adorable. Happy Candlemas!

[Br. Bill Paine, CFC @BillPaine1]

@emzanotti You’ve never made me mad, Emily. Oh sure, sometimes I disagree with you, occasionally even strongly disagree, but you are still high on my list of famous people I’d like to have a beer with. Plus, who can be mad at anyone with such adorable kids?

@EliLake @JonahDispatch Another example of a great artist who is simultaneously a terrible person.

@chrisgrayson @Morgan_C_Ross I think you meant to type Baltic Sea.

@scottlincicome @JonahDispatch @EconWithNick This will hurt even those who avoid paying any interest by paying off the full balance every month: credit card issuers will recoup lost interest income by eliminating no-fee cards and by increasing existing annual fees.
