Fr. Glenn: Good For The Soul
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I came across a pretty good series on Prime the other day called “Genius”, in which four seasons cover some notable persons in history—specifically the lives of Einstein, Picasso, Aretha Franklin and Martin Luther King, Jr. The season covering Picasso focused largely on his many romantic relationships and rather hedonistic lifestyle, which resulted in much angst, anger, sadness and chaos in Picasso’s life and the lives of his various wives, mistresses and their resulting children. As the series progresses, the viewer can’t help but wonder if the real Picasso had many regrets Read More

Happy Easter! You might, unless you are Christian Orthodox, say “but that was a week ago”. In many of our churches, Easter is celebrated for 50 days, until the Day of Pentecost, which means “Fifty”. Among us, Easter is a season!
In this Easter Season, we tell the gospel stories in which the resurrected Jesus came to be among his apostles. He first needed to calm them down with the words, “Peace be with you”, here Read More

Op-Ed: Criticizing Government For Not Having More Small Businesses Is Totally Misguided
By BILL ENLOE

I read the letter written by Lisa Shin (link) criticizing the current County Council for not addressing the wishes of the community for more local businesses and a more vibrant downtown. It is not a surprise that Los Alamos residents would like to see those things happen. Criticism of the local government for not having them is totally misguided. I don’t believe government should or can successfully subsidize private businesses. Which ones do they pick to support? How long will the government continue to support the businesses? What about the local businesses we currently Read More
Home Country: The Family Dove
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
We have a master gardener in our family. Two, actually. My wife, Catherine, and her identical twin, Eleanor. These women spent a whole year studying stuff like how to grow things that you’d like to have and how to avoid growing things that turn your stomach.
Catherine is really active in the group and volunteers to find volunteers. Hey, you can ask. She loves doing it, and I’m kinda an occasional tag-a-long.
