Alive and young - but who
on earth is Paul Cat?
NEW
ORLEANS (probably): 23rd April 2007
-- There is more serious and probably more important news to report, but
tomorrow. For now, after this afternoon's discovery quite by accident,
your attention is drawn to yet another blog! Alive and young!
http://aliveand young.blogspot.com. To be honest, I was seeking some
particular material on 'cybermemes' (that can keep to another day) and
Salesianity when I came across two rather interesting sites - one is a Salesian
cyberspace spirituality group ('Salesian' as in Francis de Sales and Jane de
Chantal), and the other is 'Alive and young'.
Now, you
will need a sense of humour, but you won't get far through this blog without
realising that the young blogger is quite possibly a Salesian affiliate of some
kind (and this time I mean Don Bosco, Mary Mazzarello...). A past pupil,
perhaps? A confrere in disguise?
Or am I making assumptions here - it
could be a Salesian Sister! Paul Cat, if that is who he really is has, as
someone describes him on his own page, 'an enjoyably goofy blog' for you to
read. And the story of Brittany who wants to join the convent, the
Salesian Sisters no less, and - if you can believe it - raises some $3,000 odd
via this blog to pay off her student loans, is hilarious.
So enjoy. Our blogger has a serious note at the beginning however.
It appears there has been a death in the family and he's gone home to spend time
with them - rightly so, asking our prayers. I'm only sorry that I couldn't spell
'feel' correctly in responding to that!
