A Great Time to be Alive

If I can see my whole life in the matrix of the civilization in which it occurred, the fact is that this epoch, in which I have been privileged to live, is probably one of the most exciting periods since the Industrial Revolution. That time pales, however, compared to what we have experienced in my lifetime.

The Sixties were a Wonderful Time

This is the 60's in Boston College. People who were there might say it never happened. Well, if it didn't, don't tell me, because it's a wonderful story. As they say, I don't tell it for truth, I tell it for told.

Interiority

I haven't said one word about my role as a chemistry teacher, what it's like to be a religion teacher, what it's like to be an assistant in the athletic department, or what it's like to be Father, because those things, while they matter, really pale in significance when I compare them with what is going on interiorly.
