I just want to make sure I have all the names of everybody who donated to the school. We’re in the throes of “summer’s almost over” panic, so we climbed a mountain yesterday and are about to leave for Boston to see the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum today.

These liberal ideals, such as “freedom of... Read more

Interesting little tidbit on CatholicCulture.org: Sociologists from Ohio State University have found that children from large families have markedly lower divorce rates. The equation that emerged after a 40-year study, involving a sample of 57,000 American adults, was simple: The more siblings you had as a child, the less likely you were to be divorced as an adult. The researchers don’t offer an explanation for this phenomenon—in fact they seem to be stumped—but they know it’s not because the children from large families... Read more
