One aspect of their life that hasn't been mentioned was their ongoing cartoon strip featuring the Monestery Hounds -- Ludvig and ??? They were a Doberman and a Pharoh Hound. Father Robert drew the cartoons featuring the rivalry between the 2 dogs. It was hilarious and used to be accessed from their web page. One of the dogs has died; I think it was Ludwig.
Luxor and Ludwig was the name of the cartoon strip. Luxor was a Pharoh hound (snnooty) and Ludwig was the Doberman (dumb, easily tricked by Luxor).
**BROTHER STEPHEN: You do miss certain things, but you would be surprised with what you replace it with, that here I am in a community of six guys, that if all works out I will spend the rest of my life with them and whoever comes after, and I will be buried on that hill, and that falls into an 80-year history of this house and a 900-year history of this order.**
When I looked up LaserMonks.com it brought me to the new company that bought them out:
