Web envy
Suzanne Strempek Shea sent me word about her newest book, Sundays in America which looks delicious. The subject matter is about as timely as one could hope for - since it has to do with the way Americans spend their Sundays at prayer - and her writing is so light, so deft, and so absolutely accurate about whatever she is describing that it leaves me smiling and shaking my head. Smiling, because whatever is expressed beautifully always has that effect on me, and shaking my head because I envy that ability.
Then I have to add that her web site is truly elegant to gaze upon. Take a look: (www.suzannestrempekshea.com/sss/) . And that’s where the envy comes in again. I want a site that looks like that!
Envy, of course, isn’t all bad. Used productively it stirs us to do better than we have so far managed. That requires some effort, of course, but I see nothing amiss in that. Well, I can see I’ve been given my orders…

Ah, dear Administrator::
Weep not for yourself but for those of us who have no web page at all.
