Yes, the zoo was a zoo. We visit zoos frequently on our travels, because as I said, we have a membership at our local zoo that gets us free admission at most other zoos, and half price at some of the big ones that are too cheap to let us in for free. It’s very…

He met with youth today – a group from Australia, to pass on the WYD cross for 2008, as well as youth from Rome and the Lazio district. (I think these were the same event) – photos here. There have been a few articles on this, but here’s a translation of the Italian transcript of…

We saw a lot of stories this week, but this piece from Elizabeth Lev at Zenit gives us some overall perspective and a good feel for the city during those days as well as a look at  a new exhibit on the history of the Swiss Guard, and an aggravating experience in Florence.

In between the two speaking engagements on Tuesday and the one Wednesday night, we had…all day Wednesday in Columbia, South Carolina. So, what that means for the people with the Fort Wayne Zoo membership card….go to the Zoo! And hope it’s free! (it was). But that was in the afternoon. First stop was downtown, where…

Do go read this NYTimes piece on a new opera – With George Tsypin’s translucent décor suggesting a Balkan or Middle Eastern village, Mr. Sellars’s fluent direction helps the opera’s four characters to occupy the Bastille Opera’s large stage. Divided into seven tableaus, the opera opens with Adriana (the Irish mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon) rebuffing the…

Yeah, yeah…Gospel of Judas, National Geographic special. Got it. But what’s the deal? Well, it’s basically another gnostic text, one of many, emerging from the Egyptian sands, making its way through the backalleys of the antiquities market, and seen, translated and intepreted, up to this point, only by people who are "on the team," so…
