A week ago, I had a really good feeling about my favorite college basketball team – the SLU Billikens.

Today’s find: Wheels up
A year ago today, I was preparing to bid farewell to Jerusalem and the Holy Land.
Today’s find: Witty Wetta
I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting when my friend Joe and I rose before dawn today…in order to catch a bite of breakfast with Fr. Augustine Wetta OSB.
Today’s find: State of bean
I landed a gig as sous-chef for the first of our parish Fish Frys the other day.
“Sous-chef”: I guess that’s what you’d call it. Our master bean-maker wisely did not trust this rookie with wielding the industrial can opener. But he did permit me to drain the humongous cans of green beans, once opened.

Today’s find: See-shore
Part of my ritual in tending to this blog is to change the “header” with each new liturgical season – so that the image atop the homepage of With Us Still…evokes (at least in my mind) the spirit of the season.

Today’s find: Look who’s teaching
For the past several days, I’ve been staring down a class attendance sheet…and a stack of homework papers awaiting review.
Today’s find: Blowout
At times I wonder whether St. Catherine of Siena might not be an @SLU_Billikens fan.

Today’s find: OK, Boomer
Here’s hoping that my semi-scatological expletive wasn’t audible to the other reticent Romeos in the greeting card aisle yesterday.

Today’s find: Scenic view
I tried hard not to be jealous when a friend told me about his plans to spend this weekend skiing in Colorado. Then he sent a photo of the view he’s enjoying in Telluride.
Today’s find: Lulu
I’m not exactly quick to embrace emerging technologies, but with subtle encouragement from my friends Andy and Mary, I recently added “Lulu.com” to the list.
