UPDATE 11 April
In answer to a couple email’s the “apocalyptic thriller” I was reading was by Joel Rosenberg (US HERE – UK HERE)
I’ve read a couple series by him, including the one starting with The Last Jihad (US HERE – UK HERE) and the one starting with The Twelfth Imam (US HERE – UK HERE)

Back to the cooler clime.
Yes, that is a police check point on the right.
Last night we met some folks for a dinner party. These were people I was with on a great pilgrimage a couple years back and who are going to Italy again in … well… about 10 days.
Some tapas.
This is a kind of canneloni with chicken inside. Great.
Killer shrimp.
Paella Valenciana.
Photos of skylines are tricky, especially with just a phone.
Here’s another view.
This intersection had 6 billboards for the upcoming Avengers movie, though in this shot you can only see four.
LA. Hrumpf.
Traveling East from here is a bit frustrating. It takes hours and you lose hours, so your workday is effectively shot.
Perhaps more later.
UPDATE
More…
There’s an extremely unhappy cat onboard.
Why, oh Lord?
UPDATE:
Now people have to be shuffled because of allergies.
I am tempted to bless some water – just a glass and a packet of salt are all that’s needed – and toss it in that direction but the demons in the cat would probably just get more agitated.
UPDATE:
Fluffy did precisely what we all feared within its carrier, thus detracting from the already less than pleasant atmosphere.
UPDATE:
After a surprisingly good hamburger at a fast food joint, I headed to the lounge, where I ran into my good friend Fr Sirico of ACTON INSTITUTE. We caught up on friends and parish news. He is always good value as the Brits say.
And it’s always fun to write ACTON INSTITUTE.
That said, Our connection is late in arriving and so I am enjoying the ambience of MSP Concourse F. I am sure many of you have fond memories of Concourse F. I know I do.
I’ve firmly emplaced my Bose noise reducing gear and will now wade back into my apocalyptic “thriller” by Joel Rosenberg.
