Lisa Hendey’s recent plurk about “old lady syndrome” and a sore knee after exercising had me laughing. Forget the aches and pains — I’ve lived with those for a while. I mean, it takes my body about 5 minutes to warm up after I get out of bed. The effort alone of trying to sit up is an ordeal in itself. To watch me stumble across the bedroom floor as I attempt to straighten up is like looking at one of those posters of evolution. Still, it beats what’s going on in my brain, which evidently is so overcharged and overfull that anything triggers a short circuit.
A real live “Home Alone”
These poor folks are gonna be in a world of trouble when they get back home. Seems that they left their kid at the airport when they boarded their flight to Paris.
Paris! Just like in the movie. Ha!
It turns out they are an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family. Must be a cultural thing to leave the kid behind when traveling…wink wink. The last time it happened was about 2000 years ago.
for those of you who like the T-shirt
Our modern culture demands a t-shirt as a souvenir for everything we do. Maybe it’s shallow. Maybe it’s just fun. I prefer to think it’s fun. After all, there’s nothing cooler than a really neat T-shirt. There’s a neat little project going on over at The Catholic Company that you might want to check out.
The Catholic Company has undertaken a challenge, together with the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP), to send 5000 (or more!) catechisms to the poor and needy at MOP missions in Jamaica, India, the Philippines, Haiti, Uganda & Kenya. We are sending the first 500 catechisms, and hope our loyal customers will help us send at least another 4500 copies.
Among the items is a T-Shirt that says: Eternity is better.
Buy a few catechisms to send, and purchase the T-shirt for yourself. You know you want the shirt — do something good for others through the Missionaries of the Poor while you’re there.
