Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

Some of you will be able to tell where I am this morning. Just touched down with an hour and a half drive ahead of me but couldn’t resist stopping here.

Those of us who do say the quiet part out loud, who could give two what the world thinks of us, who never minded being labeled as extreme – us, we need to stick together and speak boldly together.

Check out this piece from Laramie Hirsch.

I’ve been following Laramie’s posts for a little while – always linked by my friend St. Louis Catholic (a man I’ve met and for whom I have great respect) and Non Veni Mark (a man I’ve not met but with whom I have corresponded and for whom I have great respect).

I read the post today and agreed with everything he says.

Click the link above and see for yourself.

How long, O Lord, how long?

And Laramie, if you read this, know that you are not alone. Drop me a line sometime and we can chat.

Heading out with the family to see the family. Want to know painful? 5AM flight. Not boards at 5 – departs at 5.

St. Christopher and all the Holy Angels, pray for us!

I’m posting a link to Non Veni Mark’s post on. Boxing Day and Worthy Causes

I echo his sentiment on being grateful I do not need a donate button. I have given to several of the people/organizations listed below.

If you do not check out Mark’s blog on the daily, pleas make sure to do that going forward.

The general consensus on yesterday’s question about meat was a solid and resounding “NO!”

The leftover brisket and tenderloin waited patiently for me in the fridge until midnight.

Can anyone in the readership clarify whether meat is allowed on the Friday in the Octave of Christmas?

Shoot me an email if you’ve got a definitive anawer.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!
