Darwin's Recent Reading
With the Catholic News sites discussing the Vatican's move to reform the LCWR, I pulled this slim volume written back in 1986 off the shelf to re-read. It's a quick and amusing read: a satirical view of the breakdown and renewal of reli...

I dunno, Kiwi. Given the 100+F temperatures around here lately (38+ C) wintry sounds pretty good...
One can always put more clothes on, but when it's hot, it's just hot. But then, I'm a cold weather kind of guy -- which is odd given that I grew up in California and live in Texas.
