This is going to be a short post today. My schedule is a bit shuffled this week. I’m working from home today instead of Friday since I need to be at the museum then. I’ll also be working a half day Thursday and another half day on Saturday to prepare for an early morning class next Monday. It’s much easier to set things up when the museum is closed—no worrying about securing objects while moving them around.
It’s probably for the best that today is a work-from-home day. I woke up with a headache, and I don’t think I could handle the bright lights of my office or the mix of perfumes and other scents that come with a full building. Still, there’s plenty to get done, so it’s going to be a busy one regardless.

After Trump, after his diatribe against Leo XIV, portrayed himself as Jesus Christ. I hope that no more Christians will vote for him.
One would hope, uvdp—but experience has made me less optimistic. Many American Protestants, especially those inclined to support Trump, still don’t seem to understand that Catholics are Christians. I’ve encountered that misconception more times than I can count over the years I’ve been teaching, and it’s both disheartening and frustrating.
I was reminded of it again just the other day, overhearing a conversation at a restaurant after a medical appointment. It made clear that this kind of ignorance isn’t limited to one region—it’s widespread. Lower church attendance in places like New Hampshire and Vermont might explain some gaps in religious literacy, but it doesn’t excuse them.
I also had a discussion on internet with that kind of ignorant telling me that Catholics aren't Christians. He surely never read any history book on Christianity because Catholics were the first Christians in the Roman empire and Saint Peter was the first Pope.
Centuries after came Luther and others to separate from the FIRST Christian Church, the Catholic one.
Not surprising in USA as when Presidents like Kennedy and Biden show they are Catholics they are not liked by those who hate Catholics.
Again, religion is a matter that divides instead of unites.
No more religion in politics is the solution many democratic countries did decades and centuries ago like in the French revolution.
We in Canada did it back in the 60's and we live better without it.
Many organizations have restrictions on perfumes and scents in the office. You're right that it can get overwhelming sometimes and some people over-do it. This is a legitimate health issue for you if it's triggering migraines. Maybe you should talk to HR?
There are religions that aren’t Christian. One religion told my Buddhist son that he was going to hell because he wasn’t a Christian. This was a so-called Christian religion. I told him that God wants all His children back and that He has provided a way to do so. I wouldn’t let him go back to that church in youth group. He could still have his friends but not be subject to their teachings.
My landlord and his friends are Buddhist and they celebrate Christmas and Easter too. They are originally born Catholic French Canadians from here in Province de Québec.
What your son have to know that Christian religion, Jews and Muslims have the same roots in the Bible and Quran or Tora which is Abraham lignage as a prophet.
Also no matter what your faith is, the GOD LORD (if he ever exist) as a supreme spirit is over all intelligent being that is not making judgements over humans in regard of their believes. HE is a merciful and Love being no matter what. Hell is a human invention to scare everyone.
Those that separate religions from others do the devils work.
They become the anti-Christ they fear.
