This is what the kids are currently listening to in my Pits of Despair: It’s been on the current playlist for five years, right along with the Kit Kat song, “Popcorn”, “We Will Rock You” and “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree”. I play them in a non-stop loop, 24/7/365. Not to worry. I have the best ethicists money can buy on my payroll, and they assure me it’s “entertainment”, not torture. Who am... Read more

The formidable Jessica Smith (formerly of Blessed Sacrament parish here in Seattle writes): It was great to see you tonight at and chat at Theology on Tap. What a great turnout: 120 to 140 attending, in my estimate. We didn’t stay to the very end as we live 30+ minutes away (John’s got an early morning), but were glad to see such a good response.
