In The Eyes Of The Beholder

Apropos of nothing at all: a visiting priest gave a wonderful homily during Mass yesterday. It was challenging, insightful and humorous and I could have listened for 10 minutes more. A tad lengthy perhaps, since our eldest later complained bitterly about the torment of sitting through it. Which reminded me of my father's remark (to laughs all around) to another father on the occasion of one of his kids' bar mitzvah:

For your kids it's a bar mitzvah. For mine it's a crucifixion.
