What I'm Up To

It has been quite a while since my last post, a month to the day, and I'm both sorry and annoyed by that. I've been meaning to blog, I just haven't. I've jumped from being uninspired, to being inspired but without the time, to being too busy, to being too lazy, and so on. Anyway, here I am blogging again, and happy about it.
The weather around here has been completely off-the-wall lately. First it was a warm winter, then all of the sudden it froze for a bit, replete with deep snow and freezing rain, and now its warm again. Less than a week ago there was ice frozen to the trees, and yesterday I want to work (outside) in a sweatshirt and snowpants and was comfortably warm until about an hour after sunset, and even then a jacket over my sweatshirt sufficed. Emily has some great pictures of the freezing rain's effect on the area at the Hazel Page, so go check them out.
Tom Crusie and Katie Holmes' wedding is old news, but recently I came across an article about it that shocked me:
"Everyone expected Andrea Bocelli to serenade pal Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on their wedding. However when he didn't, it left a lot of people wondering why. Now, the Opera superstar has revealed that Scientology was the reason why he skipped the couple's nuptials...
...'I was not present at the (Scientology) ceremony because I'm Catholic. I didn't think it was respectful for my religion to be there,' Contactmusic quoted Bocelli, as telling the US edition of OK! magazine."
Read the full article at DailyIndia.com.
Good for you Mr. Bocelli. There's something most Catholics can learn from you, other than just Opera.
I mean, really, how many Catholics today would skip a friend's wedding if the friend in question was not Catholic? Be completely honest: not many.
To wrap up this post, I'd like to link to a very short (two paragraph) post at Fidelity to the Word, entitled Human-hide wallets and cannibalized embryos. It's a bit morbid, but the point comes across clear, correct, and hard-hitting.
I'll be posting more regularly again, so expect another post sometime between now and Monday. I've a lot more to catch up on.
