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...

There's got to be a story behind this!
Well, it's just that we used to have this Muppets album when I was young, so that certain phrases such as, "There's no hot water in my hotel" became standard at our house. Then a year or two ago, I went on a massive internet search and managed to find the LP to send to Dad for Christmas. But we'd never seen the original clip from the Muppet Show.
This is the sort of humor my old man thrives on, along with snooty British characters of the sort found in P.G. Wodehouse.
