About Me

I am a retired English teacher and department head, the mother of three grand mother of four, and have been married to the same man for 52 years. I subscribe to Dr. PM Forni's concept of Civility. I was born in South Philadelphia and grew up in the 'burbs. I love soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, the Phillies, the Eagles, and San Diego. I love being Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nona Kathy, and Teacher. I spend a lot of time in my gardens in the spring and summer, and in the winter I plan what I'm going to plant. I also am an avid reader and photographer.

No Vice Too Insignificant

 Last night at dinner I ordered a glass of red wine.  The couple with whom we dined were shocked.  "You're drinking wine?"  

"Yes, I'm drinking,  thinking of taking up smoking, and seriously considering debauchery."  

Are these not the new norms?   Pathological lying; bullying until one gets what they want;  consorting with enemies; inciting riots and sedition; infidelity in marriage, sexually assaulting women, undermining all established rules for one's own benefit?

Let's celebrate lack of refinement, ignorance, and abject vulgarity!  Absolutely no virtue is worth defending, or should be left unscathed.

We have been lied to:  Crime pays;  the truth enslaves; God is dead; and the Anti-Christ is headed for the White House.

Wow!  Have we ever been playing this wrong.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some deadly sins to investigate.
