I was planning to blog this as part of a follow up to my pity-party-post, but the Curt Jester beat me to it in The Seven Deadly Gilligans. The idea is that each of the castaways exemplifies one of the Seven Capital Sins: Gilligan shows us gluttony; Ginger, lust; the Skipper, anger; the Howells, avarice… Continue reading The Seven Capitals Channel

The Catechesis of Preschool Boys
I tried Bill White’s suggestion of addressing the ghosts-and-monsters issue by talking up St Michael.
