Did you know about the Murray's?
Actor Bill Murray has a sister who is a Dominican nun and stars in her own one-woman play about St. Catherine of Siena. I didn't know! (To quote Terry).
From Sister Nancy Murray's website:
Nancy Murray, OP, is making her mark on audiences across the country and throughout the world, bringing to life the Dominican saint Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church. With simple props and a fertile imagination, Sister Nancy portrays Catherine as the colorful, strong, passionate and enthusiastic personality that she was. Thanks to Sister Nancy's gift of transforming herself into this 14th century saint and patroness of the Dominican Order, numerous churches, schools and organizations have become acquainted with Catherine's fierce devotion to and love for God.
The ironic thing about this discovery is that Sister Murray is part of the Adrian Dominican Sisters based in Michigan who founded a Catholic hospital here in my neck of the woods, which also happens to be the Catholic Hospital I volunteer at every week. Maybe I should start asking the nurses if they know the Murray's.

Gran Torino is Clint Eastwood's best film.
Is "your" Catholic hospital going to stay open if Obamacare passes into law?
I certainly hope so. But with this wacko anything can happen. They just don't understand that most people don't want it.
We had that movie on TiVo forever, so we watched it last night. It was very funny (except when it wasn't, obviously) and very good. It took me a few minutes to get used to Clint's rumbling voice!
Katie-
My co-workers recommended this film to me back in 2008 when it first premiered, and I neglected to go watch it. I bought the DVD this past weekend because I was looking for a good flick to watch on my days off.
Yes, the film was very good, but SO depressing at the end. The theme song plays after Walt is cut down which made his passing all the more excruciating.
It is one of the finest films I have seen!!
