I’m sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away)

I’d like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little blogwatch and to Sally MacLennane…

Amy Welborn: School stories from New Orleans.

Colby Cosh: Best thing I’ve read on Paris burning. Le Corbusier and other villains.

Dappled Things: “One of my own practices, and one that I recommend to others, is to consider what particular temptations and sins we commit in life. Whether our own particular recurring sin is judgmentalism, or wrath, or pride, or this or that sin of the flesh, there are souls in Purgatory even now undergoing their purification for precisely those sins. I like to pray for those particular souls, doing my part to help them through, in the hopes that they will return the favor for me once they bask in the light of God’s perfect charity. We’re all in this together, and Christ has knit us together in a way that not even death can break.” (more)

Plus many All Souls links.

Family Scholars: Lots of great stuff up now–reviews of Elizabeth Marquardt’s excellent book on the moral and spiritual lives of children of divorce; Brad Wilcox on marriage in men’s lives; an updated report on marriage in the social science literature; and much much more. Go! read!

Sed Contra: Two moving posts, one on penance and fasting and one on the nature of love.

And from USA Today, the House vs. Kelo: “The bill would withhold for two years all federal economic development funds from states and localities that use economic development as a rationale for property seizures. It also would bar the federal government from using eminent domain powers for economic development.” (more) Awesome.
