Once your narrator gets the words right, this space'll have a Thanksgiving meditation of sorts... but in the meantime, for everyone clocking out early and hitting the road, safe travels and a blessed and Happy Turkey Day to each and all and your loved ones -- hope everyone gets to eat up, enjoy the breather and revel in all those things that make the journey beautiful and good.
As musical reflections go, we've got the traditional...
...and the (10,000) "maniac"-al....
Enjoy the holiday, folks -- God love ya and, as always, thanks for every good gift you are in the lives of more folks than you probably realize.
Gobble, gobble... and -- though they're probably gonna lose again -- Go Birds.
(But to think, they came within a hair of being the Turkeys.)
One of global Catholicism's most prominent chroniclers, Rocco Palmo has held court as the "Church Whisperer" since 2004, when the pages you're reading were launched with an audience of three, grown since by nothing but word of mouth, and kept alive throughout solely by means of reader support.
A former US correspondent for the London-based international Catholic weekly The Tablet, he's been a church analyst for The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, BBC, NBC, CNN and NPR among other mainstream print and broadcast outlets worldwide.
A native of Philadelphia, Rocco Palmo attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. In 2010, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St Louis.
In 2011, Palmo co-chaired the first Vatican conference on social media, convened by the Pontifical Councils for Culture and Social Communications. By appointment of Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap., he's likewise served on the first-ever Pastoral Council of the Archdiocese, whose Church remains his home.
