Lee Press-On and the Nails: Hat Back Boogie

Last updated on: December 11, 2014 at 10:03 pm By willduquette

All I know about Lee Press-On and the Nails is that they are a San Francisco area swing band; and it’s quite possible that I’m happy knowing no more than that. But they’ve got a song that I like (Pandora is the culprit, as usual), and here it is: Read more

Paarfi of Roundwood: On Brevity

Last updated on: December 10, 2014 at 7:54 pm By willduquette

Paarfi of Roundwood is the supposed author of Steven Brust’s “Khaavren” romances, which begin with that most excellent tale The Phoenix Guards. Paarfi, a Hawklord of the Dragaeran Empire, is a scholar and historian who has learned (evidently through first-hand experience) that the rewards of scholarship are great but unsustaining, while the rewards of writing popular trash for the consumption and amusement of the masses put dinner on the table. The Phoenix Guards is one such amusement, a tale of... Read more

You Shall Surely Die. Also, Beer.

Last updated on: December 9, 2014 at 7:31 pm By willduquette

…though probably not on a trip to the Holy Land, as Frank Weathers makes clear in his report…from the Holy Land. And somehow, in that one post, he sums up the problems with being tied to the news cycle, the incentives for the news media to ratchet up every bit of outrage, the freedom that comes from letting go of it for a while, the need to die to self, and the spiritual benefits of kissing it all up to...

Review: Honor Harrington and the Honorverse

Last updated on: December 8, 2014 at 11:38 pm By willduquette

I’m a longtime fan of David Weber, and especially of his Honor Harrington series, which I’ve been reading since it was a much shorter series than it is now; but I’d let my interest lapse for a few years, and I’m now several books behind the most recent. And so a few weeks ago I embarked on a project: to re-read all of the “Honorverse” series to date. I’m now into Storm from the Shadows, the 18th book (according to... Read more

CT 19: Infinite Power of God

Last updated on: December 23, 2014 at 3:16 pm By willduquette

We’re blogging through St. Thomas Aquinas’ Compendium Theologiae, sometimes called his Shorter Summa. Find the previous posts here. Having now established that God is infinite, and having distinguished between this and a purely mathematical notion of infinity, Thomas now goes on to say what it means for God to be infinite. The further inference is drawn that God is infinite in power. For power is consequent upon a thing’s essence; anything whatever possesses a power of activity consonant with its manner of being....

Jack Aubrey on Valued Servants

Last updated on: December 23, 2014 at 3:19 pm By willduquette

Every captain in the Royal Navy had his personal steward, a manservant responsible for attending to his clothing and anything else he needed. Jack’s steward is an old seadog named Preserved Killick, a man of rude habits, a grumpy disposition, and a tendency to raid the Captain’s stores for dainties, but also a man of great and undoubted loyalty. This passages follows after a particularly positive evidence of Killick’s devotion to his Captain’s needs: Killick was in many ways a... Read more

Great Big Sea: Sea Shanties with Attitude

Last updated on: December 4, 2014 at 8:16 pm By willduquette

The more time you spend with folk music of the British Isles, the more you’re exposed to songs of the sea; and when you like those, Pandora eventually introduces you to Great Big Sea,* a folk band from Canada that specializes in folk songs and sea shanties from Newfoundland. Mind you, some of their songs are a little too, um, ribald for my taste, or at least for my image; but here are some of the ones I like. First,... Read more

Reverence, Within or Without

Last updated on: December 23, 2014 at 3:21 pm By willduquette

Sometimes I read blog posts that use the word “reverence” what seems to be a purely external way. It connotes silence, and careful movements, and kneeling for communion, and certainly has nothing to do with having a noisy or curious child in the pew with you. Other times I read blog posts that speak of reverence as a purely internal disposition, as remembering that we are in God’s house and consciously choosing to behave appropriately and to focus on God...

The Sacraments: What Christ is Still Doing

Last updated on: December 1, 2014 at 7:48 pm By willduquette

At RCIA a couple of weeks ago, our pastor made the comment that the Sacraments are how Christ continues to do today what He did while He was here on earth. Fr. Ed then went over the seven sacraments, what they are, what distinguishes them, and so forth; and then he left me to continue the discussion at the RCIA session last week. Consequently, I put together some ideas about how Christ is doing today what He did then, with... Read more
