At the Register: We Who Are About to Camp Salute You

Last updated on: June 30, 2014 at 7:51 am By Simcha Fisher

As I write, I may have nothing packed, nothing purchased, and nothing planned, but I do have a very tidy and detailed list of the things I am sure will go wrong on our trip. They are as follows: We will run out of food and we will starve, because obviously we won’t be able to get into the car and drive to a store and buy more food. This is camping, and we are going to have to make... Read more

Right Brain Drawing Club, Picture Share #2

Last updated on: June 30, 2014 at 7:43 am By Simcha Fisher

Yay, drawing share #2! I’m going to leave the link-up, below, open as long as I can this time. If you missed the deadline for the first exercise, go ahead and add them to the link-up below. So, for the vase/faces exercise: Did you have that stuttering paralysis moment when you were drawing the second half and trying to make it symmetrical? If so, how did you overcome it? One of my kids said, “I looked at in in parts,... Read more

Last updated on: June 27, 2014 at 9:53 am By Simcha Fisher

This week, we’re reading through chapter three and doing the exercise in chapter four of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. I’ll put up a picture share link on Monday (not Tuesday, because we’ll be away on our camping trip). I’ll leave the link-up open indefinitely this time, because people are working at different paces. I really enjoyed looking through the pre-instruction drawings in picture share #1! Thanks for going to the trouble of uploading your pics and... Read more

Powerful Ad Shows What a Little Girl Hears When You Tell Her She’s Pretty” runs the headline on the Huffington Post, describing a new ad by Verizon. Before we even watch the video or form an opinion, let’s remember one thing. The real, true, deep down message of this ad is that you, the viewer, should like Verizon. Whatever societal goals it may have, it’s an ad. It is trying to sell something, and so it’s a given that the message it’s... Read more

For All the Saints (That I Don’t Really Like)

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 8:10 pm By Simcha Fisher

Today is the feast day of Josemaria Escriva. He is not one of my favorite saints, in the same way that Vegemite is not one of my favorite ways of delighting my mouth. Yes, I have tasted it — yes, more than once. And I stand firm in my statement that it is not one of my favorite ways of delighting my mouth. PIC Vegemite I’m not saying that nobody should like Vegemite. I’ve heard it’s very nourishing,... Read more

At the Register: SCOTUS: Pro-Lifers Are Citizens, Too

Last updated on: June 26, 2014 at 11:25 am By Simcha Fisher

In effect, the law [which was just ruled unconstitutional] created a First and Fourteenth Amendment-Free Zone for a certain class of people. It made it a crime for some citizens to be on a public sidewalk, or to say things in public. Today’s decision reasserts that all citizens have equal protection under the law, and should enjoy freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. In short: you can be places and say things and not go to jail for it, even if you’re... Read more

Here is a clip of him calmly and charitably explaining why, according to his understanding of Catholic theology, he does not believe that that caller on the line is, as she claims to be, a reincarnation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Give that man a drink and a raise. And another one for his magnificent beard! Read more

At the Register: The Tabernacle Holds the Heart of the Church

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 8:11 pm By Simcha Fisher

PIC tabernacle I struggle hard to believe the best about people’s intentions, but I cannot find anything good in the impulse to put the tabernacle away, to the side, out of sight, hard to find, easy to overlook or even forget. Why would you do that? Why would you make it hard to do the thing you’re there to do? How would a body function if the living, beating heart were shifted off somewhere else, to a left foot or an...
