More From The Roman Cat Sanctuary
Just some pictures today for you cat lovers – a continuation of yesterday’s post.
Largo di Torre Argentina
Today’s post (and tomorrow’s too) is for my daughter, who at times (like much of the internet) can be somewhat cat-obsessed. Rome is a great place to visit if you are a cat lover. That’s because there is a square downtown, Largo di Torre Argentina, that has been set aside as a sanctuary for the […]
Stadium Security
When the National Hockey League introduced airport-style scanners in their arenas I complained here. I thought such measures would make going to a game a hassle, and, like in airports, wondered if it was worth it. This past weekend I went to a football (soccer) game in Rome, Lazio versus Benevento. The security measures there […]
Thoughts For This Easter Morning
The foundations of the earth shook when the words were first uttered. Angels danced with joy. Christ is risen! Friday had been about despair and shattered dreams. How could everything have gone so wrong? It wasn’t supposed to end like this! But it was. God had a plan. Christ is risen! Saturday was no better […]

I figured they were colourful enough to warrant their own post. Don’t recall seeing any similar displays in Canada, but maybe I’m just not […]
God’s Not Dead
Film franchises are always risky. Just because the original film is great doesn’t mean any sequels will be. Too often it seems the studios are just trying to cash in on a popular film with substandard follow-ups. Which means I approached the third installment in the “God’s Not Dead film series with a certain amount […]
Who Needs Grammar?
Many years ago, I had some friends who moved to an Arabic speaking country to open a business. That meant learning the language. I don’t remember much of what they used to say about that country, but I do remember the pronouncement that “Arabic is stinking hard,” a sentence with I would nod appreciatively but […]
Roots II
Just a few more photos from our Sunday afternoon walk.
Roots
I’m not quite sure exactly where we were. On the way home from church yesterday my wife said “Why don’t we go for a walk.” So we pulled off the road, got out of the car and walked. If you really need to know where we were, we had left Mullheim and had not yet […]
