I Loved Going to the Dentist

Yep! When I was a kid, my friends and I loved going to the dentist. His office was right on my block, so I went at least once a week, sometimes by myself, sometimes with one or more of my friends. Either way, I always had a great time there.
You see, Dr. Kopel (that was his name, but after all these years I'm not sure I'm spelling it right) had a storeroom full, and I mean FULL, of comic books, including many that the corner candy store didn't carry, and he didn't care how much
time his young friends spent reading them.
So I really enjoyed going to the dentist... except when I had to go to the dentist!

An Obscene Word (Post is safe to read)

On Friday, April 10th, 1970, I was at home, listening
to the radio, as usual.
And then, I heard these words:
"It's official. The Beatles have disbanded."
At that moment, I decided that disbanded was the most
obscene word in the English language!

Lovely Meditations on the Stations of The Cross

I found an absolutely lovely, thought-provoking set of meditations on the
Stations of The Cross
written by Mother Angelica

I should have checked out EWTN's website to begin with.
