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...
by Henry James
I'd never read any Henry James before, though I did see the Nicole Kidman movie adaptation of Portrait of a Lady some years ago because... well, because it was a costume drama with Nicole Kidman in it.
This was one of those novels I ...
by Evelyn Waugh
If you, like me, have been reared on tales of the second World War as the just and virtuous struggle of the "greatest generation", Evelyn Waugh's arch novels (based loosely on his own war experiences) are an important and darkly enjoyabl...
by Jane Austen
This was the first time in some years that I've re-read this Austen novel, one of the quieter and shorter ones, but one which has ranked among my favorites. It was striking me, on this pass, that it rather shows the effects of having be...

Well, six years ago, that was my Brazilian brother-in-laws' prediction, too! My second daughter was due September 17, but sure enough, their American niece was born September 11, 2002. :) Unfortunately, my VBAC didn't work out... We'll pray you fare better!
I predict the nativity of the Blessed Mother (9/8) will coincide with your child's nativity.
TS,
I like that prediction, and so will my pastor, who has begged that I refrain from giving birth until after our schola sings the 7:30 AM mass on Sunday the 7th. Another plus for the 8th: that's the date of the baptism class we have to attend, but Father says he'll give us a free pass if baby shows up that day.
oops: brothers-in-law's
Our little Jack's birthday was September 8th, so I'm a bit partial to that date too...
I pray that it's September 8. Though 9/11 would be a very memorable birthday...
Sorry. [One old frine I know would say to me at this point, "No you're not."]

LE Roman,
As you probably remember, Sept. 11 was Darwin's parents' wedding anniversary, so that's a memorable family day as well.
Barb,
Now that you mention it, I do remember that Jack's birthday was Sept. 8. God rest his soul.
9/11 seems a long, long way off given how far along you are! Not that I blame the fellow, given how a womb has certain advantages over the outside world...
My friend who was due on 1 Sept is still waiting.....
