Just a note to readers that I’m headed up in a second to Walker Percy Weekend. I will check in when I can to approve comments, and to post pictures, but mostly I’m going to be sweating and drinking bourbon and having a great time with Franklin Evans, Jon F., and the usual suspects. Watch this space!

When the idea was just being kicked around, I was an early and vociferous enthusiast and encourager. I don’t think I’ve missed reading anything Walker Percy published in book form.
I began with a referral from a lady evangelist friend who was involved in the pro-life movement – for The Thanatos Syndrome.
But I was most moved by The Second Coming.
So have fun – but I don’t think I would be welcomed trying to hang out with those mentioned pals! 🙂 Anyhow, I can no longer afford to travel.

Wish we could be there. We had a blast at the inaugural festival. We’ll return.

In the spirit (or spirits?) of Walker Percy Weekend, I offer the following: the Dreherian Verse, composed of the last 12 blog post titles (I have taken a few liberties with punctuation):
Walker Percy gone fishin’
In the Romanian gulag…
‘Chernobyl’ and communism.
Woke capitalism vs. the unborn,
Sohrab Ahmari vs. David French:
American Pravda.
Lying for God–
Tomorrow’s Republicans. Today,
View from your table,
DNA database surprise!
Agony & hope is born,
Smoking, in the ’70s.
🙂
Hope y’all have a terrific weekend and that it doesn’t get too hot.

Did you know it was only named Istanbul in 1930 !?!? It was still called Constantinople within living memory!

The official name was changed in the last century, but “Istanbul”, supposedly a corruption of “Is ten polin” (“into the city”) does ho vack a long way.
