The New Platform

Everything appears to have transferred OK, except for the links sidebar. A few of those were old and out-dated anyway. Unfortunately, to restore the ones I want to keep (and add some newer ones), I need to add them one at a time. So, I'll do a few here and a few there. Not a priority though.

(Added -- Another thing I want to do is go through and add labels to some posts that I couldn't fully do before because of the page issue.)

Meanwhile, I've been looking at the statistics page that indicates the number of visits to the site overall, as well as visits to individual posts. Interestingly, the individual post that has been viewed the most, and one that shows up frequently on the weekly numbers, is this one -- Lost: What Really Happened? As for showing up on the weekly numbers a couple of years after the show ended, my guess is that it is still having its first run in some international markets and people are wondering, "just what was that all about??"

Speaking about Lost, it was nice to see Claire and Charles Widmore make appearances on Once Upon a Time, another show co-written by Horwitz, Kitsis, et al., and it was also cool to see Charlotte and everyone's favorite, Desmond, on Fringe, by Abrams, Burk, et al. Meanwhile, taking a peak at IMDB, I noticed that the Evil Queen (Regina) was in a couple of episodes of Lost, when Charlie goes down to the underwater station.

Adoramus Te

All of us here at Vita Nostra in Ecclesia and our sister blog Cinema Catechism are pleased to welcome Adoramus Te, the blog of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, to the world of the blogosphere!

May you be a light of love and truth to a world sorely in need of it, and may the Lord bless and keep you always.

Going to Rome

As if the postings around here were not infrequent enough, they will soon be even more infrequent as I take a trip, i.e. pilgrimage, to Rome with my mother, who has never been to the Eternal City. Worry not, a novena will be offered for you and many others.

Before Rome, though, we will be spending a couple of days in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. One of the places we will see is the Convent of San Marco, home of many beautiful frescos and other works by Fra Angelico, including this most breathtaking fresco of the Annunciation --

We will return April 10.

Ciao!

Back to Work

OK, after another of periodic droughts, having other things going on, I hope to start putting up new posts on a more regular basis. I've been also meaning to update the links and labels lists. And figure out how to adjust the blog template because there is no "next page" feature, so not all of the posts on a given topic or month always end up being displayed. So, a lot of stuff to do, which I might try to get around to. (Then again, I've got this half-painted wall next to me that has been half-painted for about three years because I have yet to get around to moving all the furniture out of the way (including some very large bookcases with a few hundred books) in order to finish the job.)
