The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be. Paul Valery those of you who saw my Facebook entry yesterday (*see below) can probably identify with this picture sent to me by HP Yogi MF commenting, “This is what i felt like as the Pro’s rolled up to […]
St Patricks Day Has finally arrived. While on vacation in Rome , I noticed a marble column in St. Peter’s with a golden telephone on it. As a young priest passed by, I asked who the telephone was for. The priest told me it was a direct line to heaven, and if I’d like to […]
