Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

Photo credit to my daughter. Vacation rolls on. New St. Rita Novena begins today.

Bad weather followed me from Texas to the Atlantic coast. A tornado warning went off last evening. Then the skies turned black and opened up. It was quite bizarre.

But the aftermath was kind of cool…

Harrison, buddy, I stand with you. I’m a husband and father with the blessing of a wonderful wife who is my path to holiness. I take my family to the TLM. I agree with 1000% of what you said in that speech. Thanks for being a man. I grew up in New Jersey as a die hard Giants fan, but henceforth, I am on…

Special thanks to my wife who got this shirt for me. She handed it to me as we got to the beach for our week of vacation. I will proudly wear it.

God bless you, Harrison Butker. If you read this and want to say thanks, my email is on the main page.

And in Savannah I got to see how a cargo vessel should navigate near a bridge. Take note, Baltimore.

One of my favorite things is getting to explore the United States with my wife and kids and to see the things I read about when I was younger.

Yesterday it was St. Augustine, Florida and the Fountain of Youth.

First of all, Ponce, you look like you were quite the guy. Points on the style, too. What the banner does not tell is that you were claiming the land not only for Spain, but also for Christ. Good job, my man.

Second, I’m entirely unsure why there are about 80 random peacocks roaming the grounds here. Florida considers them an invasive species. They’re native to India. I bet they came over for a better life in a nicer call center.

Finally, this evil bitch shows up a lot these days doesn’t she… this was in the gift shop. Out in plain sight. I said a prayer and walked away.

As the title cards from the commercials in the Tonight Show used to say, more to come…

Today is the feast of St. Rita of Cascia (and also an ember day, go figure).

Do I have to tell you all how important this saint is to me? Do a quick search of this site and you will find that every sixth or seventh post is about her – more specifically about asking for her intercession.

If you don’t know about her yet, here’s a brief video.

Today will be (as it always is for my family) a great day. I pray that is just as marvelous for you.

And to all my friends who will be in Philly today at the shrine, don’t forget to get some roses for me (and a cheesesteak from Gino’s)!
