Can anyone tell me

how often

"Moral Philosophy, 101"

with

Richard Geraghty

is on EWTN?

I can't find it on their
program schedule...

Available from Ignatius Press

THE QUEST FOR SHAKESPEARE:
The Bard of Avon and the Church of Rome,
By Joseph Pearce














And from the Ignatius Critical Editions,
edited by Joseph Pearce:


FRANKENSTEIN,

By Mary Shelley














KING LEAR,

&


WUTHERING HEIGHTS,

By Emily Bronte















With many thanks to
Joseph Pearce for permission
to post his upcoming book.

And too, to Deb from

for her excellent posting tips:)

And while we're on the subject...

What is the criteria
for getting books reviewed by
the New York Times?

As posted above, Joseph Pearce,
editor and author of many
biographies on, among others,
Alexander Solzhenitsyn and
Oscar Wilde, is coming out
with another book in April,
The Quest for Shakespeare.

It can't be that the NYT
hasn't heard of these men...

So what's the problem?

Apple's Rose Canto


The apple
.......................drove home
...................................................a nail
......................................................................in pine wood
blonde
...............violins
............................married
...........................................african violets, flowers bearing,
giving birth to
...........................wooden willows
..............................................................singing sonatinas

Marimbas rang chimes
................................................as star clouds drift misted
and kissed moon's pale cheek
.................................................before morphing to water

Willow choir
..............with angel's lyre
...............................strings that harp melody arrows
flying
......................,,,,,.to the ears
.................................................................of the Pleiades

The star cluster
..........cries with pleasure
........................at hearing the music of blonde violet boughs
branched with flowers
................................................../////........of soft glory

Anyone who would like

to view Dawn's appearance on
the Today Show can catch it
here...

Dawn already wrote words of
praise for the network - I'm a
bit disappointed that she didn't
appear alone, but after having
taken on Yale last month, it's
obvious she's no lightweight.

More follow-up later today
from The Dawn Patrol, with
a list of her upcoming tour
dates (including one in May
at the Seattle Chesterton
Society) listed here.

To the top

as a reminder for tomorrow...

Author & blogger Dawn Eden
will be on NBC's "Today" Show
Monday, March 3rd @ 10 A.M.ET.

Dawn will discuss her book
The Thrill of the Chaste:
Finding Fulfillment While
Keeping Your Clothes On,
now in its sixth printing. It's
available in English & Spanish,
with soon-to-be translations
in Chinese & Polish...

Read more about it @
The Dawn Patrol.

& YAY DAWN!!!

OMIGOODNESS!

My new screen cleaner...

It tickles!!


Thanks to Nick:)

"Oh look..."

"... it's Mildred's baby!"

Which is what I believe the line
was in the photo Terry posted
from the movie Desk Set, one
of my favorites starring Spencer
Tracy & Katharine Hepburn...

Used to help illustrate Terry's
autobiographical story, as he
continues with its next chapter,
over on Abbey-Roads.

Prayers please

for Melodybleu, who
hasn't been feeling well...

although she still managed
to beat me soundly during
our last game of Scrabble.

Feel better girl!

Am currently enjoying

an online biography about Charles
Dickens, by G. K. Chesterton...

Chesterton, "Charles Dickens" (1)

&

Chesterton, "Charles Dickens" (2)

Found through G. K. Chesterton's
Works on the Web,

and a link from CAF.

Found a neat 'Special Projects Blog'

... from Jeffrey Smith, featuring

Russian Art.

Very nice!

Another gem

picked off from a signature
on CAF:

"Anyone can believe in something
sort of stupid. But in order to be able
to believe in something REALLY stupid,
you need a doctorate."

- Fr. Benedict Groeschel CFR, (Ed.D.)

A few words...

Indeed, the whole world is only
heaven's womb.

on Heaven.
