After nearly 78 years of identifying myself as a Catholic and now certainly nearing the end of this life it pains me to say this, but, yes, I have doubted my faith, many times over. Being raised in a Catholic family, living within a block of our parish church, rectory, and convent, receiving my elementary

I don’t think so. Art who? Being that most of my teachers in many years of Catholic education were priests and nuns, I’m certain I was never a student of a Father Art or a Sister Art. I was never familiar with works of art while growing up, nor to the best of my knowledge

Oh, Lord. Here we go again. It has been suggested that I author a second compilation of stories, memories, thoughts, and general ramblings, taking valuable time away from my daily mastery of computer card games, solution of Samurai Sudoku, and attentiveness to Breaking News on CNN.

Well, I would certainly choose to accept the talents I do have, however meager they may be. They have served me well-enough over the years, especially my penchant for selecting the best and most expensive entrée on any menu and for being fashionable. But if offered the opportunity to become even more awesome I would

I received a summons for jury duty from the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. I first thought that serving on a jury would be cool, as I always have enjoyed movies which involved jury deliberations (like 12 Angry Men). But I quickly concluded that there would not be any chance that I would actually be

Yes, and for good cause. It happened on May 7, 1971, and to this day, 51 years later, I remain ashamed by it. I will tell you the back story, but it doesn’t absolve my guilt. Upon graduating from law school I accepted an offer to work on the tax staff of Arthur Andersen &
