Dinner With Mr. Dougherty (or, “How Catholic is Too Catholic?”)

Last night, in the midst of an IM conversation with The American Conservative’s associate editor, Michael Brendan Dougherty, I interjected that I had to go. Metro was running with major delays again (have they been on time yet this month?) and I was coming dangerously close to missing my connection with the older-fashioned trains of [...]

Still Not Used To Being Interviewed

I just wrapped up an pre-taped interview with Son Rise Morning Show host Brian Patrick of Sacred Heart Radio. The topic was recommended summer reading, and I am long-winded enough that they only had time for three of my five picks.
I think much more clearly in writing, but I enjoy these interviews. That makes it [...]

The topic is Catholic Agrarianism, and I think the show is going to [...]

Finally Got a Writing Gig

It’s a great opportunity, and I’m happy to have it.

They Really Like Me!

I’m not sure exactly what Dvice.com is, but I’m impressed with their dedication. They wrote almost 3800 words on over 100 generic gift guides (mine included.) Check it out for all of the info you can handle about the Open Source Beer, celebrity wish lists, pink and cute gadgets for glamour girls, gear for the disabled, [...]
