Close Encounters of the Spiritual Kind

Okay, so Halloween is over. Don’t tell me that with Christmas on the horizon you have forgotten Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? Ghosts don’t only appear on Halloween. They show up when it suits them or when they are sent somewhere. Yes, I do mean sent. It depends on where the ghost is, of course;…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving, readers!

Pre-Thanksgiving Thoughts

A worthy and sobering reminder, readers: My pre-Thanksgiving posting I posted this originally on Nov 19, 2019 on Facebook where it promptly got censored and my account restricted (right after a book release, resulting in who-knows-how-many lost sales). I vowed then to re-share it whenever it came up again, so I’m re-sharing it going into…

It is a pernicious error; when referring to the Catholic Mass, the word should always be spelt with a capital M. This is because Catholics believe (or should believe) that the Mass is a re-presentation of…

Christmas Break

Christmas time is here again, readers. I have been so busy running about on errands and the like that this week, for Christmas, I am taking some time off the website. Hopefully I'll be back before New Year's day, but we will have to see just how things shake out. Until then I wish you…

A Macabre Scene for Halloween

It looks like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft tale. Or at least an image from a nightmare. But the lake below exists in fact. I will not spoil the article by telling you how it is possible; however, I will say that you do not want to swim here. It will not end well.…

Remember the Republic

“Left to themselves, Americans build, cultivate, bridge, dam, canalise, invent, teach, manufacture, think, write, lock themselves in struggle with the eternal challenges that man has chosen to confront, and with an intensity not known elsewhere on the globe. Bidden to make war their work, Americans shoulder the burden with intimidating purpose. There is, I have…
