My Son and Heir  Peter is in Running Start, getting college
credit at high school prices. He’s taking a history class and
they were studying the struggle between Thomas a Becket and
Henry, resulting in Becket’s murder.  Pete went into class early
and drew a little picture of the saint on the board, with a
sword sticking out of his head. Beneath it he wrote: “There’s a
hole in the Becket, dear Liza, dear Liza.”  The prof tries not
to let on, but he was quietly amused.  I am unutterably
proud–and disturbed.    • Rachel      LOL, that is hilarious!!
St. Thomas Becket is my patron saint. I hope he is learning a
lot of good stuff about him. St. Thomas had a temper and a mouth
and he wasn’t afraid to use it, even in the last moments of his
death. Check out Becket the movie with Peter O’Toole and Richard
Burton. Its well done but it is a bit haigographical
