Exercises in compound storytelling. Thursday, March 11, 2010. Meat for lunch for Lent". Image by Getty Images. There is so much I do not understand about Catholicism.

Here's Ross Douthat from the Times. I think he's decrying the do-it-yourself of American religiosity, particularly of American mysticism:. Related ar...

Exercises in compound storytelling. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Augusten Burroughs: Running with Scissors. S 2002 memoir Running with Scissors. Is one of the most disturbing things I've read in a while.

A Noggin' Full Of Noodles. Jour-ney ˈjər-nē n. An experience of process that leaves you changed. Monday, November 05, 2007. The Issue of Relativity.
