Help Me Pick a Race Shirt!

Time spent on book: 1 hour so far, but for some reason I felt like blogging What I did: Revising chapter 1 Grade for the day: Pending -------------------- The blogging fell off this week. But I have a good excuse. I was asked to write for another blog, a task that I thought would consume an afternoon. But I got ambitious. So instead of blogging here, I devoted my attention to finishing that. The post should be available next week. I will share it then. It will change your life. Meanwhile, I did manage to learn something about myself from this. When I blog here, I can usually hit publish with limited difficulty. I don't always feel the necessity to tell a coherent story. And proofreading is optional. If the outlet is elsewhere, though, all of my neurotic impulses bubble to the surface. The lesson, I suppose, is to never, ever write anywhere but here. Anyway... As I mentioned before , this weekend is the Erie Marathon. It's a two loop course around Presque Isle S

Guest Post on Puppy Mills

The following is a post from my 10-year-old daughter, Ruth. She is very passionate about this topic and she wanted me to share this with as many people as possible. ------------------------------ A puppy mill makes female dogs have litter after litter of puppies to sell. The workers don't care about their health or treatment, they only care about the money. The puppies are separated from their mothers, then piled in cages. You may know about puppy mills and you may not. Either way, they are awful places. Some puppies are driven in a truck, like apples or corn. Fortunately, puppy mills are regulated in Pennsylvania. Sooo... we're all good -right? Well, that's not the case. Puppy Mills may be regulated in some states, but in the chart below, it shows that twenty other states don't have any laws against them!

Mike Pasquier on White Catholics and the Perduring Sin of Racism

Time Spent on book: Don't ask What I did: Blarg Grade for the day: I hate grades Over at America, my friend Mike Pasquier has written a powerful piece on race and Catholicism . He lives and teaches in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so his proximity to recent events there gives him a unique perspective, to say the least. This article is refreshingly insightful and honest, while at the same time well-informed and historically nuanced. Read it. Share it. And bring it in to your conversations. The article begins.... Two years ago, at the age of 7, my daughter developed an interest in the biographies of famous people. We started with a children’s book about Amelia Earhart, followed by Walt Disney and Anne Frank. Next up was Rosa Parks. The book opened with Parks as a girl growing up in rural Alabama, watching white kids ride buses to white schools while she and her black friends walked to black schools. The moral of the story was clear: Racism is bad. When we finished the book
