It Keeps Me Off The Streets
http://www.ethicalpalaeontologist.com/ 2008/ 09/ it-keeps-me-off-streets.html

At some point last night, a wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) met a grisly end at the hands jaws of a cat or a fox. My initial survey of the scene suggests it's eaten the head, and not a lot else. There are feathers EVERYWHERE. It's amazing how far a pigeon can be spread.

Is Henry Hager a coward?
http://atomicgaywonk.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ is-henry-hager.html

First-father-in-law George W. Bush is all over the media today describing daughter Jenna's new husband as a "really good guy". One question: if he's such a "really good guy", why has Henry Hager never worn a uniform of the Armed Forces of the United States of America? If Henry enlisted, at least our Commander in Chief could put one less gun into the hands of one less felon.

From Bede’s History III.12 (McClure and Collins, p. 129) “It is related, for example, that every often he [King Oswald] would continue in prayer from matins to daybreak; and because of his frequent habit of prayer and thanksgiving, he was always accustomed, whenever he sat, to place his hands on his knees with the palms turned upwards.

GEDC0219Originally uploaded by thorland2006 I just put up some Easter photos on flickr. Nothing too special, but you can at least see the sun at the 7:30 am service by the seaside. Also, some photos of St. Columba and the Easter cross.

Hours of Prayer
http://hefenfelth.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 03/ 12/ hours-of-prayer/

Sunday someone asked me how many times a day medieval people prayed and I said 7 or 8. I realized that I’m a little fuzzy on what the canonical hours are, their names and what they have been transformed into today. So, this is going to be a short-hand version I hope will be helpful to you and will serve as notes for me.

Columba’s Marriage Advice
http://hefenfelth.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 02/ 19/ columbas-marriage-advice/

In Adomnan’s Life of Columba he relates a curious episode that seems to be pointed directly at Northumbria (from the Medieval Sourcebook, Ch XLII): “Of one Lugne, surnamed Tudida, a Pilot, who lived on the Rechrean island (either Rathlin or Lambay), and whom, as being deformed, his wife hated.
