Come from Away

On the Sunday afternoon of Labor Day weekend, I sat by myself in a crowded theater just a block or so from Times Square in Manhattan.

Morning joe

When I walked into the kitchen on Teresa’s first morning of seventh grade, I found her at the table, with a doughnut and cup of coffee in front of her.

Best laid plans

I don’t usually do much to celebrate my birthday. Maybe it comes from being born in the summer, when school was out and friends who could come celebrate were limited to those in the neighborhood.

Across the pond

We took Teresa on her first international trip this summer, making a short jaunt across the pond. No, not the Atlantic Ocean. The Great Lakes.

A good walk

I had to buy a new harness for the dog this week because the old one, after five years of near daily walks and car rides, finally wore out and one of the metal buckles for adjusting the straps broke.

It does happen here

“This doesn’t happen here.” “This isn’t who we are.”

Ministry of presents

If you read the listing of women and men religious celebrating jubilee anniversaries in this issue of Chicago Catholic, you’ll see that many of the elderly sisters, brothers and priests minister “in prayer and presence.”

What am I to say?

When I heard the news about the shooting of 19 fourth graders and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, I was at work. I came across a tweet, just saying that that there was an active shooter at an elementary school.

Spring drama

Ladies and gentlemen, live theater is back.

In the habit

Every morning, after I get up and brush my teeth, I take the dog outside and then come in and feed her.
