Just a few from our trip:


Above: St. Joseph's Oratory, a new mission of the Institute of Christ the King, Detroit, MI.


Reenactment of the best shot last summer:

Boy 2: Pants, lots of dramatic breaths, groans, "I can't breathe easily! I can't move my body. I can't even move my leg!"

(Now I know why someone invented the term "man flu.")
