(a microblog: notes, queries, and whatnot)

 Was surprised to find that my being cast down here for a bit coincided with a change of Archbishops -- having now seen a fourth one in with some prayers to St. Patrick, perhaps I helped an iota or two in the furlong-length larger struggle.

In the one of the first sermons, I was surprised to hear him talk about the theatre -- but then it turned out to be a revival of "Hello Dolly."  Silent gnashing of teeth.  But then I recalled Egan doing something similar in his first sermon, praising American art for a bit, saying how glad he was to be back to see some, and the specific he offered then was Gilbert Stuart's paintings of Washington.  And Egan, having just rewritten the code of canon law, was nobody's fool.  

Listen for the said, and the saying.
