56. ALL ART IS RELIGIOUS ART. [Just added the following to “The Art Of Not Sucking” etc.] Long before I acquired even the faintest interest in modern art, I was down visiting my dad in Houston, hanging out with a college buddy, Andrew. We were both about twenty at the time. Looking for something to do, […]
Pope
[buy print here…] So the Pope decided to resign today… I guess that’s not too surprising, even if a Pope hasn’t done it in 600 years. He was a very old man in ailing health, after all… I’m not Catholic, so I have no idea what this means for the Church as a whole. All I can do […]

“object-idea”: is your product a talisman?
One evening Father Steven, the elderly priest who baptized more than one of my nephews and nieces, came over to my mother’s house for dinner. I was there, too. Father Steven is a lovely guy.
