MLK
Sure, Martin Luther King was an important figure, but I cannot get into a holiday with "Martin Luther" in its name, especially with the word "King" so close. It sounds like Martin Luther, King, and that really grates. So forgive my lack of celebration. People would talk.
"Keilholtz is getting awfully ecumenical these days."
Likewise, I have no enthusiasm for Calvin Coolidge.

Yes! The funny thing is that this is the second time in 24 hours that someone has brought up The Bells. Last night in my Lectura Dantis group someone mentioned that film. Since we are reading St. Bonaventure's Journey of the Mind into God, I figured that if Crosby and Bob Hope had decided to turn this classic into a film it would have been called "The Road to God."
