More on Addiction

Here's a dispatch from the U. of Utah Alcoholism School -- my weekly column in the Salt Lake Tribune.

On the last day of the week-long School, we found ourselves trying to put our new-found knowledge to work. A friend relapsed. It was heart-breaking. I can't say much more for fear of breaking confidentiality. I'll just ask my readers to pray for all people affected by addiction, please.

It's hot today! But a breeze is blowing and the humidity is low. My garden is a-bloomin' away. I hope to have a picture of it to post soon.

Off to the nursery to buy more plants .... The gorgeous, salmon-colored poppies I'm seeing all over town are calling to me!

Low humidity? I'm jealous. We're north of the worst of it here in Kansas City, but we've had our share of the rain.

Hot Hot Hot here in Lander - it has finally cooled down to the low 90s! At least the humidity is low. Good to see you blogging again.

What I'm Reading Now

  • Richard Rodriguez: Brown: The Last Discovery of America

    Richard Rodriguez: Brown: The Last Discovery of America
    Richard Rodriguez was keynote speaker at our Diocesan convention last year and he was amazing. This book is like poetry, and thus not always easy to read, but important and thought-provoking. You might have caught RR on PBS; he does video essays for the News Hour, I think. A prophetic voice and, incidentally, a very nice and humble man.
