Tocino has passed away – he died last Wednesday, the 21st.
Boadicea has been in regular contact with Toc, so we were aware of his ill health, which he did not wish to be made public. Around the beginning of this month he was told that he had six months to live, but in his last e-mail – a couple of weeks ago – he mentioned that he had been receiving extra treatment.
Tocino was an excellent blogger and a good cyber-friend. We shall miss him greatly.
Our heartfelt sympathy to his wife and family.
Now, now, settle down.
I have a song going round in my head and I’m blowed if I can remember what it is. So, I thought to myself, why isn’t there a musical search engine that you can sing, hum, or whistle a tune into and find it?

The Second Catholic Man chirps, “My Son is a Bishop. When He walks into a Room, people call Him, “Your Grace.”
The Third Catholic Gent says, “My Son is a Cardinal. When He enters a room, everyone bows their head and says, “Your Eminence.”
The Fourth Catholic Man says very proudly, “My Son is the Pope. When He walks into a Room, people call Him, “Your Holiness.”
Since the Lone Catholic Woman was sipping Her coffee in silence, the four Men give her a subtle, “Well….?”. Continue reading “Catholic Morning Coffee in Rome”

The Best 100 Opening Lines From Books
The Best 100 Closing Lines From Books
About half the books on each list are on my to-read list. The other half are about evenly distributed: those I’ve read and would read again, those I’ve read and wouldn’t touch again with a bargepole, and those I haven’t read and don’t plan to.
Judging a book by its opening line is more reliable than by the cover – lines don’t get affected by editions – but still a crapshoot anyway.
