“My bad.”

You beat me to it. Yes. It's horrible.

Good catch. A lot of people don’t get that connection.

**“If you have any questions, see Don or myself”**

I know I'm being a grammar bug here, but shouldn't that be “If you have any questions, see Don or myself me”

My favorite instructor at the Seminary was Father D'Amico. We were siting around one day just talking and I asked him how he had managed to stay out of hot water all these years when discussing philosophy. He told me that he always made use of sense. I looked rather puzzled and he told me to ask him a philosophical question. So I asked: Was Plato correct in his Allegory of the cave?

He smiled and replied "In a sense."

He said that as our experience grows we can change our perceptions and that old views pass away. The raisin pudding model of atoms made way for protons neutrons and electron.

Amen.

Also “baffled” has been overused in news stories.
