I wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Many of us will not celebrate as we do in healthy days. There will be fewer and smaller gatherings.

But Christmas is a both a day and a state of mind. We can celebrate privately.

You have brought me much joy. So I have taken you under my little wings to keep you safe and beloved.

d. About myself

1. I truly loved my profession, university teaching, despite the following:

2. My employers limited my ability to further my research by giving me new courses to teach. (I didn’t like it.)

3. However, I had the ability to learn a discipline in very little time. In order to do so, I would call on the world’s foremost experts for guidance. (They liked it.)

4. Music and the fine arts have been my best refuge.

5. In 1976, I caught a virus and never fully recovered. In order to remain a university teacher, I had to limit my social life drastically.

6. I simply love sharing coffee or a fine meal with a good friend, or good friends.

4. Do you watch sports on TV?

I don’t.

5. If yes, what is your favourite sport on TV?

6. What is your favourite kind of music?

“Classical” music, but not exclusively.

Not having to leave my apartment on the coldest days of the past winter.

1. During which period of the day do you work best?

2. Do you have a pet and which kind?

3. What is your best source of energy?

Best Wishes for the New Year

Winter, Gazette du bon ton

L’Hiver, Gazette du bon ton

I am using this light-hearted “pochoir” to wish my faithful readers a very Happy New Year.

Remembering 4 November 2008

Let us hope 2015 will be a better year. There were sad events in 2014: terrorism, racism…  Moreover, on 4 November 2014, money made room in Congress for Republican candidates who may not otherwise have been elected into office. Money should not buy aspiring politicians a seat in Congress or, in the case of Canada, a seat in Parliament.

The date I want to remember is 4 November 2008. On that day, Americans elected to the presidency of the United States an exceptionally gifted and accomplished gentleman who cares for his people and has earned considerable respect for his country wherever he has travelled.

—ooo—

You have become very dear to me so I hope health issues will not prevent me from reading your posts and writing mine in 2015.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.

Marian Hymnology

The Alma Mater Redemptoris is the Marian Antiphon of the season. I have therefore inserted a lovely interpretation of Palestrina’s Alma Mater Redemptoris at the foot of this post. On 2 February 2015, formerly Candlemas but now groundhog day, we will switch to the second of four Marian antiphons, the Ave Regina Cælorum.
