Look closely, and you can see some evidence that my favorite golf course was completely submerged just a few weeks ago. But things are definitely looking up at Aberdeen today.

Today’s find: Dazed
I experienced an epic ‘selfie-fail’ at the ballpark the other day.
In an attempt to photograph the members of my immediate family—who’d treated me to Cardinals tickets—I inadvertently snapped a shot that had more of an ‘Ascension Thursday’ vibe to it.

Today’s find: Holy parting
There was an audible gasp among “the regulars” at the conclusion of 6:30 Mass on Monday morning.
Fr. Tom, our celebrant—and beloved pastor of 19 years, announced that he’d be moving to a new assignment come June.

Today’s find: Taizé
We went last night (at least in part) out of curiosity.

Today’s find: Incognito
It’s the oddest thing: Our local branch of the US Postal Service relocated recently…and didn’t leave a forwarding address.

Today’s find: Sheep Gate II
Sheep, for the most part, are an abstraction to me. I see them in photos and videos from time to time, but as a city dweller, my up-close encounters with them have been limited. (Thanks to some thoughts shared by a friend today, the notion of a Sheep Gate has now taken on an intriguing new depth — see his comments, added to my original blog post, below.)
“Sheep” became a bit less abstract for me last summer though, on a vacation trip to Scotland and Ireland. When you get away from the cities in either country, you find sheep practically everywhere.
