To which I responded with Sugar's "Copper Blue" and posted this video:
Woke up this morning and made breakfast - my standard fare: plain Greek yogurt with berries, granola, and honey, cup of coffee, glass of water. Checked in on Bluesky again to find that a user named nooneofcons.bsky.social had replied to my post with this:
I clicked through the link to learn that a) Sugar has reunited, b) they're planning to tour, and c) they've released a new single entitled "House of Dead Memories":
Did I...post that into existence? What an exciting turn of events!

ReplyDeleteAce!
ReplyDeletewe got any catholics up in here? would love to better understand the significance of pope leo's rumored disbanding of opus dei, beyond the fact that it'll give dan brown rich fodder for another book.
ReplyDeleteWho can we get Rob to bring back next? Last month's excellent CVB show has me thinking we could be in a golden era of age 60-something rock bands.
ReplyDeletegrew up one of those catholics. like many others, i left the party years ago. not that i'd be able to answer if i had remained. will throw that question out to my uber super catholic sister/bro-in-law. happy friday gheorghies
ReplyDeleteI'm not Catholic but I saw a nun at CVS today.
ReplyDeleteEnding a long (but good week) in Kansas City. My employer could never get me to move here but I don’t mind a few visits a year. Good beer. Good BBQ. That’s enough for me for a few days.
ReplyDeleteMy son in Cincinnati has a good friend who is devoutly catholic. The friend recently asked our non-religious kid "how are you a good person?" He can't fathom goodness that isn't linked to religion.
ReplyDeletethat tracks.
ReplyDeleteshohei ohtani pitched six shutout innings, gave up two hits, struck out ten. and hit three homers. in one game. defies words.
ReplyDeleteNo expert on Catholicism here, but my understanding is that Opus Dei is being non-centralized, split into 3 entities now, I think, where no longer will they operate pretty much on their own, with what's become a lot of power. They're a really conservative, kind of sectarian group, with in the tradition (which I imagine y'all know), and have a lot of folks in influential positions in the US (Supreme justices, politicians, corp big-wigs, etc. - again, I imagine you know this), and so, with the decentralizing, that was Pope Francis' idea and Leo is following through on it, this takes a bunch of wind out of their sails. One high-up person inside on promise of anonymity is quoted as saying "it will never be the same" and some say this will mark the end of this group's functioning as a "church within the church."
ReplyDeleteWe're thinking Ohtani might be the greatest baseball player in history. Anyone else - agree or disagree? If not, who is?
