Season 3 Preview: A Bone

Reporting from inside the monastery (yes, this is allowed and no I'm not breaking any rules):

I'm here to throw you a bone. All is well here. This blog is going through revision and you will certainly be notified of such changes. In the meantime, the things I've been devoting my time to are below:

All things cycling:
Lots of reading. On the bookshelf:
  1. Pope Francis: Conversations with Jorge Bergoglio by Sergio Rubin and Francesca Ambrogetti
  2. Complete [Short] Stories, by Flannery O'Connor
  3. No Man Is An Island, by Thomas Merton, OCSO
  4. In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden
  5. City of God by St. Augustine of Hippo
  6. Strangers to the City by Michael Casey, OCSO
  7. Thoughts Matter by Mary Margaret Funk, OSB
On the newsstand:
  1. The New York & Seattle Times, and Olympian daily
  2. Al Jazeera America
  3. RomeReports. All things on Pope Francis & Vatican City
On the music stand:

  • Piano:
    • Brahms 6 Short Pieces Op. 118, No. 6 in E-flat Minor: Intermezzo
    • Scriabin Preludes
    • Debussy Petite Suite
  • Organ:
    • Yes I'm learning! And no, nothing worthwhile mentioning. Soon. Bach is in the works.
  • Sacred:
    • Lots and lots of course! Chant, hymns, spirituals and modern stuff. Updates soon. Promise :)
Until next time,
-Gus
