Midterm Break


Over the past few days I have been on midterm break.  Unfortunately, while I thought that this would leave me a lot of free time to catch up on classwork, sleeping, and fun with the family – as always, breaks go by much, much faster than they should…  Thus, while I’ve gotten a little bit of reading done for class (about 10 pages for Senior Seminar), and a little bit of philosophical writing (1 page for Senior Seminar), a lot of hanging out with the family (Mario Kart, going to the movies, October fest, etc. - lots of fun!), and a quick meet-up with Corey (another one of the guys from Bruté who has some family in Quincy), the break has still gone by too fast.

On a totally different topic, I have replaced my computer with something quite a bit more powerful and much easier to carry around.  The timing was quite fortunate because my 4 year old laptop has started throwing out disconcerting error messages predicting an imminent failure of the hard-drive.  Of course, setting up the new computer (and playing with it) did eat up some time this weekend… 

I really did start a few good posts (and had ideas for another few) this weekend, but alas, no such luck.  Sorry folks, maybe I’ll get some thinking in during the 5 hour drive tomorrow!

 

 

 
 
 

Conclave will begin March 12th

The papal conclave, it has just been announced, will start on the afternoon of March 12th.  As you may know that last cardinals have arrived in Rome and Pope Benedict gave them (all together) the ability to move the start date up from the typical 15 day waiting period. 

I'm also about to start driving back home - 5 hours of driving; I can't wait!
