a cool blog, Harry Dresden, & a popcorn rant

Check out this blog, Literary Compass: Reading the Great Books from a Catholic Point of View.

I ran across it because it had a post about the Harry Dresden books, which I am rushing through like an addict at the moment. A popcorn addict, that is, which I am. Each book in The Dresden Files is like a big, heaping bowl of hot popcorn, that I start when the bowl is hot out of the pot and consume, with water or beer, until the bowl is empty.

<{popcorn rant}>And by popcorn I mean kernels of real corn popped on the stove in olive oil, not that abomination of a food that is called microwave popcorn. UGH. HORRIBLE! And do you know that it is replacing real popcorn in all of the grocery stores? Not only do most stores not have a choice of brands of uncooked regular corn, but some stores have stopped carrying it altogether. I had to go to the manager of my local Pathmark to get them to start carrying non-microwave popcorn a couple of years ago. Now they carry yellow corn only, in one brand.</popcorn rant>

Welcome to Confessions of a Cooperator.

A Pauline Cooperator is a layperson who follows Blessed James Alberione with his Pauline Family.

The Paulines are all about media.

We travel the world via airwaves and electrons telling stories of Christ to our wild, wounded world. A world that longs to find the Way, know the Truth and be given the Life.

I am wife & beloved to Bill Stabosz. We fell in love at 16, married at 19, and have traveled 37+ years through hell, high water, low water, no water, purgatory, clear water, and back to sweet Eden the garden of earthly delights.

I am the mother of nine fabulous offspring. Their names are David Ezekiel, Marguerite "Reetie" Louise, Gabriel Mary, Simon Andrew (of blessed memory), Michael Walter, Walter Andrew, Eric David (of blessed memory), Ishmael Matthew and Emily Rae. I adore my 7 grandkids: Ruth Olive Danyo, Wade Lewis Danyo, Ezekiel Crawford Norton, Owen Robert Stabosz Danyo, Amelia Thyme Norton, Donal David Stabosz and Simon Eric Gregg.

I have good friends, few enemies, and the coolest siblings, sons-in-laws, and daughters-in-laws around.

I have been a writer all my life, a published author now and then. I used to work a day job in computer support at the University of Delaware but I retired (REJOICE, O REJOICE!) in June of 2007.

Like Don McClean, the three Persons I admire the most are the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. They are maligned and misunderstood. I love them. The Trinity has never let me down. Ever. Or anyone else who trusts the Three-in-One. Anyone. You.
