It’s a Small World...
This is a true story.

Fifteen minutes before I was to leave work yesterday, one of the Fathers requested help in preparing a handout for a presentation this morning. What he needed was simple. An 8 1/2 by 11 page with 7 concentric circles. Unfortunately, no one in the rectory had a compass (either dangerous-pointy or ruler with a pencil hole). Faced with running to the school and borrowing a compass or finding 7 concentric kitchen items (plate, salad plate, saucer etc.) to trace, I chose the easy way out. (I mean...time was of the essence, right? This was no time for a pencil, a string and a pin, either.) So I went to GOOGLE and entered the words “concentric circles.”
And the first item - out of a possible 378,000 results was a lovely display of concentric circles (more than seven, but what’s Wite-Out for, right?) direct from the employer of St. Blog’s very own Bill White. I hope I didn’t commit any gross violation of copyright, Bill. I didn’t copy any text...I just needed circles to enlarge (and trace, since these were colored circles and I was just working in black and white). Can one copyright circles?

Well, anyway, what a small world.
And, another funny thing. There is one of those rulers with a pencil hole right here on the desk. Must take it to work with me.
