From yesterday's Post-Gazette, I discover that the Vatican has sent teams to determine if American seminaries are providing “proper spiritual, moral and theological training for the priesthood.” This includes visits to St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, SS.

Sometimes, the best part of a mystery novel is a few pages after the crime is solved. Last weekend, I picked up Sara Paretsky's latest at the library. I was looking forward to visiting with my old friend V I Warshawski over the weekend while I recuperated from the vetiges of the flu. That it was […]
Who the heck waits 45 minutes on a Wednesday night to eat at Olive Garden? in Pittsburgh! Needing a meal while doing errands on McNightmare Road last Weds night, we grudgingly decided that cookie-cutter Italian food was the best option among the chain restaurants.
