Chuck McCullough

Our destination was the old cemetery, located not far from where we had grown up, where generations of our family lay in quiet repose. Our parents had chosen this resting place years ago.
As I stepped out of the air-conditioned minivan that late summer morning, my senses were Read More

Fr. Glenn: Finding Peace
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Heavy sigh.
I just heard of (yet another) taking of one’s own life. It seems to be so frequent these days, especially among young people. I saw a stat the other day that we’ve lost more military and veterans to suicide than to the Gulf War and the conflicts thereafter. Why so much angst in so many?
Well, the reasons are no doubt as varied as the tragedies. A lot comes from despair in finding paths out of abusive relationships, being sunk into alcoholism or depression, fear, hopelessness, forlorn love, money problems … the list can go on. And, I think, a lot of it might be avoided—or at Read More

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
For spring break I wanted to take my junior foodie somewhere special, with a lot of history, science and great restaurants! After some consideration, I picked Magdalena, NM.
Why would I want to go there, you might ask?
- Tumbleweeds Diner
- Kelly Mine
- VLA (24 miles away)
- Pie Town (50 miles away)
Magdalena is a small village in Southern NM, just about 30 minutes outside of Socorro. All said, it’s about a 3 hour trip from Los Alamos to there.
We drove through Socorro, where we grabbed lunch at El Camino, Read More
