Ever since I went to the monastery in southern Indiana, I've been running at full speed trying to catch up. It's been so hectic that I have had to prioritize my schedule and just take care of the essentials.
I've got a few minutes now so let's catch up, shall we?
The first item of business is the Ohio Supreme Court move involving the civil lawsuit against Gr. Gerald Robinson. I wrote an article for Thursday's paper that you can read here.
The high court decided not to hear the priest's appeal, which puts the case back in the hands of the Lucas County Common Pleas Court. A pretrial hearing is set for March 27.
This is the suit involving a woman who claims she was raped, abused, and tortured by Robinson and another man in satanic rituals when she was a child. It's a bizarre case with some wild and disturbing allegations.
People ask me if I believe her allegations but that's not my call. It's up to the courts. I'm glad the case is proceeding and the victim can have her day in court. Let the judge and jury decide the case on its merits, not on some narrow statute of limitations law.
I have met the woman twice and she seems rational and sincere. If she was really abused in satanic rituals when she was a child, and if her mother was training to be a satanic high priestess as she claims, I can't imagine the psychological and emotional trauma she endured.

Robinson's appeal of his murder conviction will be heard by the 6th District Court of Appeals on Monday morning. Both sides will have 15 minutes to present their oral arguments. That's not much time, so it should be interesting to see how the case is handled. I'll be writing about it for Tuesday's paper.

I went to see jazz singer Dianne Reeves in concert last night in Bowling Green. She is one of the greatest vocalists I've ever seen, right behind Aretha Franklin and Cecelia Bartoli.
One highlight was when legendary Toledo singer Jon Hendricks joined her onstage for some scat-singing. John is 86 or 87 now and still a force to be reckoned with just because of his sheer charisma. For the first time last night I thought he was showing signs of age last night but then again he is approaching 90! I guess I always thought of Jon as super human. Still, he's remarkable and Dianne Reeves' face lit up when he joined her onstage.
Another highlight was Reeves' original song, "Today will be a good day," which she wrote in honor of her mother. It was a bluesy gospel number full of energy and verve. Her awesome 4 piece band really cranked it up and it was wonderful. The sound system in Kobacker Hall started to crack a little on the tune, I think it was much more sound than the usual jazz stuff and caused some kind of system overload.

My buddy Kid Rock is coming to town. I've known Bob (his real name) since he was an aspiring artist playing for a dozen people at a small club. Now he's a superstar, an unlikely one maybe but you can't argue with the facts. He's sold 20 million records and lives life to the fullest.
I requested an interview with him a few weeks ago and was turned down. I am not someone who toots his own horn but I told the record label that Bob and I go way back.
Sure, the publicist said kindly but dismissively.
I called Bob's manager (with the great name of Shakes) and told him I was having trouble getting an interview. Next thing I know, Bob is going to do one. I knew he would if he were aware of my request. Kid Rock does not forget where he came from and has always appreciated the support I gave him way back when. I used to hang out with him and Joey C and the gang backstage and he's really a nice guy, despite his public image.
A bit on the wild side, sure, but hey, that's Rock and Roll.

I covered a hearing this morning in which Gerald Robinson's attorney and the state each had 15 minutes to give oral arguments in the appeal of the priest's murder conviction.
It will be in tomorrow's editions of The Blade but basically John Donahue, Robinson's lawyer, argued that the missing scissors could have been the murder weapon and that Father Jerome Swiatecki could have been the killer.
Dean Mandros, arguing for the state, said Robinson told police he never left his hospital room on the morning of the nun's murder, April 5, 1980, but that three witnesses testified they saw him near the hospital chapel around the time of the murder.
Everything sort of went according to the script, as far as I can tell, except a question from Judge William Skow who asked Donahue if the ancient documents exception was an "invitation to error." Donahue's voice brightened and he jumped right on that question.
Judge Peter Handwork asked him about the way the tip of the letter opener fit the wound in the nun's jawbone so precisely and Donahue responded that it only fit if the blade were held in a certain way. I don't think that proves much because how many different ways does the blade have to fit one particular wound to make it the murder weapon?
Once is all it takes, it seems to me.

Another hearing is scheduled for Robinson on March 27, this time for the civil suit filed by Survivor Doe. But that's a pretrial hearing and much of it will be behind closed doors, I'm assuming. We'll see how that develops.

Got a call today that the paperback version of my book is finally on the store shelves and available for purchase.
So many people have been trying to get their hands on it and even though it was supposedly "published" on Feb. 15, it was just nowhere to be seen.
I was increasingly frustrated by the fact that people wanted to buy the book but could not get their hands on it.
Maybe this is one way to celebrate St. Paddy's Day -- buy a copy of my book ;-)
I hope you have a great Irish holiday and don't drink too much green beer. Of all the countries I've seen in my life, I think I love Ireland the best. It's beautiful, but not the most beautiful, and yet the combination of people, history, and its natural beauty all added up to a visit that knocked my green socks off.

Got off to a bad start today. I met someone involved in the Robinson case for breakfast at 7 a.m. and unbeknownst to me, I spilled a cup of coffee on the passenger seat AND left my phone and digital recorder on the seat.
By the time I got out of the restaurant for breakfast, my phone and my recorder didn't work and I had a passenger seat doused with flavored java.
I've been fiddling with my phone all day and it's finally working. My recorder is showing signs of life.
I love coffee but I have had some bad experiences with the stuff. Not bad enough to give it up, though. I think the moral of this story is that I don't function very well when I get up at 6 a.m. I am NOT a morning person, but I still give it a shot every now and then.

All 3 of my daughters were home last night -- such a joy (Lisa is in from Rockford, IL for a few days) -- and after dinner we watched the movie "Into the Wild." Have you heard anything about it?
It is a powerful and very moving film based on the real life story of Christopher McCandless, who graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, gave his $24,500 savings to Oxfam, and started traveling around the country in search of ... he didn't know. Truth, I suppose.
A brilliant student, he was haunted by his parents' dysfunctional marriage and vowed to live an extreme life.
The film shows McCandless' road adventures through the southwest and Mexico, California, and ultimately living in the wilds of Alaska, shooting game and living off the land.
Throughout the film, there is a sadness, and an emptiness. He is a good young man, bright and well-read and exceedlingly well-intentioned, but troubled enough to literally burn the cash he had in his pocket in order to face the challenge of living solely on his wits.
He talked about God but he didn't really know God. That's the saddest part. He didn't have to reject everything, he could have found a place where he would fit in and be fulfilled. He could have studied about God from more experienced searchers. McCandless wasn't the first person to become disillusioned with society and hypocrisy and "the system".
But he was determined to be a loner and try to reinvent the wheel all by himself. That's what was so sad to me -- that this smart and earnest young man with a big heart missed out on so much by shutting everyone out of his life and trying to be his own island. No man is an island.
Here is a link to the IMDB.com listing of the movie.
The film was based on a book by Jon Krakauer. Emile Hirsch plays McCandless (never seen him before but he's been in quite a few films and TV shows) and Sean Penn directed. Nice soundtrack by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and guitar sensation Kaki King.

Here is a link to the story published Tuesday about oral arguments before the Ohio 6th District Court of Appeals panel of three judges.
Not much new in the 15-minute oral presentations but courtwatchers tell me that the bulk of the case hinges on the written motions, and the oral arguments are just to get an overview or update and give the judges a chance to ask questions.
A second story ran today about a motion asking the judge to recuse herself from the case because of her Catholic upbringing. Here's a link.
I think it's interesting, as reported, that Judge Ruth Ann Franks recused herself from the criminal case against Gerald Robinson in 2004, citing possible conflicts of interest because her husband, Josh Franks, was a police technician who investigated the murder in 1980 and because she was an assistant county prosecutor at the time.
Now the plaintiff's attorney is asking her to step aside because of her Catholicism and not for the reasons she cited in the murder case.
I've been told the threshhold for courts to consider judges' possible conflicts of interest is low, meaning they expect Judge Franks to recuse herself. That's not my area of expertise, I'm just relaying what others told me.
It's nothing against Judge Franks' integrity or ability when something like this comes up. It's more a matter of going the extra mile to insure a fair trial.
It's now nearly 2 years since the murder conviction and there is still quite a bit going on in this case.

Other musings:
Janet and I went to see The Lion King musical last night at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo. It's the biggest, longest stage production ever put on in Toledo, going 6 weeks. I've been interested in this play ever since I saw an interview with Julie Taymoor about the costumes and staging before it opened on Broadway in 1997 -- so it's been a while.
I'm glad I didn't have to review it for the paper but in a nutshell: Awesome visuals, but the rest of the show was lacking.
The costumes, lighting, props, backdrops, and stage set up were astounding and worth the (hefty) ticket price.
The acting was uninspired and even awkward at time. The music is mediocre except for a couple of songs ("Hakuna Matata" and "Circle of Life"). The plot is lame, and it's no excuse to say it's a children's play. There are many awesome children's movies, books and plays that don't treat young audiences as if they're dummies (Toy Story, Narnia, Harry Potter for examples).

Yesterday I received 3 dinner invitations: one to an Easter potluck at a Buddhist couple's house, one to the home of a Toledo Sikh family, and a third to a banquet honoring medical missionaries.
I can't make the first one; the second one will probably happen but I don't know when, and I'll likely sign up for the banquet.
Covering religion for a newspaper is never dull, you meet some of the nicest people, and sometimes you even get to eat a good meal.

When I was a kid, Good Friday was such a reverent day. Some of my friends' families even observed silence from noon to 3.
This is the day, after all, when Christians remember Jesus' crucifixion. It was a turning point of history no matter what your beliefs may be.
I hope you can take a moment today and reflect on what Jesus did for you.
Meanwhile, I have a Religion section to get done for tomorrow's paper... Deadlines never sleep.

My precious Dookies survived by the skin of their teeth last night in the first round of the NCAA tournament. March Madness indeed. No. 2 seed Duke won, 71-70, against No. 15 seed Belmont.
The key is that Coach K's young squad survived. Now they'll face West Virginia tomorrow. I don't expect Duke to win it all this year but it will be fun to see how far they can go. If they play up to their best ability, they should make it into the Elite 8.
The NCAA tourney is the best event in all of sports, in my opinion. One loss and you're out. All the players are amateurs, or the closest our system gets to it. They have to produce every minute, every quarter, every game. There's no resting on laurels and no tomorrows.
It's always thrilling no matter who wins.
But of course I have to root for my alma mater as long as possible, and against the dreaded Tar Heels ... So to sum it up all my March Madness hopes and dreams in two little words: Go Duke!

Today is my brother Paul's birthday. He's in St. Petersburg, Fla., where it's warm and sunny. Here in the frozen Midwest we're expecting 3 to 6 inches of snow overnight. It's been a long and trying winter. I'm sure Paul is enjoying the tropical setting for his birthday.
Have a good one, Pablo, and many more to come.

Happy Easter everyone. Yesterday was Holy Saturday, and although the date changes every year it was on Holy Saturday, 1980, that Sister Margaret Ann Pahl was killed. I had her in my thoughts and prayers all day yesterday.
Who would ever have thought that the murder of a nun before I even lived in Toledo would have such an impact on my life. Covering the news for The Blade and writing the book has been quite an adventure, one I never could have predicted.
And the story keeps developing, as you saw in the newspaper and on this website last week.
When I covered the hearing in the appeals court, I ran into Robinson's brother, sister-in-law, and other supporters. They kind of gave me a look but it was not hatred. It was more a feeling that they didn't want anything to do with me. On the other hand, I heard they are quite upset with John Glatt's new book about the murder and are protesting to the publisher. I don't know the details, but I heard from one reader who sent me an excerpt from Glatt's book that implies Sister Margaret Ann had a lesbian relationship with Sister Katherine. That is so insulting, it's beyond belief. I've never heard anything along those lines and can't imagine there's any truth to it or someone would have said something to me about the possibility.

The Toledo-Lucas County Library has posted my "Authors! Authors!" speech on its website.
Here's a link to the library's home page, you'll see my ugly mug on the top right with links to the video and audio.
The Feb. 7 speech was 60 minutes long, with about 40 minutes of Q&A, so grab some popcorn and get comfortable... I kind of cringe whenever I see myself on TV so I haven't watched the video yet and don't know if it's the entire talk or just excerpts. It was quite a night, though, with about 600 people in the audience. Everything went so well, even better than I could have hoped. It's a memory I'll always cherish. And now it's online. Don't you just love technology?

Also, the paperback version of my book is definitely out now. It was supposedly published Feb. 15 but wasn't on the shelves or being shipped by Amazon until last week.
The hard-cover version is completely sold out so hang onto your collectible copies if you have one!

I've been going full-speed for about three weeks now and this is my first two-day weekend in a long time. Last night I had a lot of options on things to do, including seeing my old friend Kid Rock in concert, and/or going to Murphys Place jazz club for Joan Russell's 75th birthday party, or going to Frankie's Lounge for a party for the new punk-rock Republicans.
But I was so tired I could barely get off the couch. Janet and I stayed in and watched a Blu-Ray disc version (unbelievably crisp picture and sound!) of "Flight of the Phoenix." An entertaining film starring Dennis Quaid and the guy from "House." It's not exactly a cinema classic but we enjoyed it. And it was so nice to just relax for the night.

A few months ago, I "Tivo'd" the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. (Here is a link to the official website and here's a link to the real story on which the movie was based.)

I had been meaning to watch the movie for nearly two years, since I spoke to Father Jeffrey Grob, assistant to the exorcist for the Archdiocese of Chicago, during the trial of Father Gerald Robinson.
Father Grob said at the time that he had just seen the movie and that the filmmakers "basically got it right." That was fascinating to me, that a real-life exorcist had seen the movie and felt that Hollywood was pretty accurate in its depiction of demon possession and the ritual of exorcism.
Well I watched the first 3/4 of the movie last night. I couldn't watch the whole thing because my wife thinks horror movies are repulsive, especially ones involving demons, demonic possession and exorcism. And I generally agree.
Yet, this movie has been on my mind ever since Father Grob, a genuine exorcist, recommended it. So I watched most of it last night but when my wife was done with her TV show, I shut it off for her sake.
I thought the movie was pretty scary at times and just creepy in general. There were a few scenes that made my skin crawl, through the power of cinema and good filmmaking.
But I beg to differ about its portrayal of demonic possession. This young girl -- Emily Rose in the film, Annaliese Michel in real life -- is shown being attacked and possessed by invisible demons who force their way into her through violent contortions and for no apparent reason.
I believe demonic possession can be real, but I don't believe the demons would just randomly choose someone.
I believe a person who becomes possessed must first "open the door" to a spiritual realm they do not understand or are unaware of, or possibly, though more rarely, do so deliberately and invite the demons into their life. I think they usually start out by dabbling in the occult, reading about or practicing occult rituals, for example.
I personally have witnessed someone who was demonically possessed and then delivered through God's power two times in my life. But that's a blog for another day.
Of course, there also are numerous accounts in the Bible of Jesus and his disciples casting out demons.
So yes, I think demons are real and I think spiritual warfare is fact, even if it is largely ignored or misunderstood in today's high-minded society.
This movie opens with Emily's death, so there's no suspense about that part of it, but I'm curious to see how the film ends.
I'll guess I'll give you a full review when I watch the rest of it... someday, when Janet's not home...

Speaking of devils, my alma mater, the Duke "Blue Devils" (Oh how I dislike that team nickname), made an early exit from the NCAA tournament. The Dookies had a good season for their talent level but they didn't have the big guys in the middle and lived and died by their perimeter shooting.
On the day they lost to West Virginia, they died when they couldn't hit anything from the three-point line. Literally. The team was oh-for-15 from 3-point range.
It hurts to say this but it looks to me like the dreaded Carolina Tar Heels are the ones to beat right now.

I was reading a tech column in Newsweek that caught my attention: The columnist lost his MacBook Air, that super-slim laptop computer that can fit inside an interoffice envelope. After much detective work, he concluded that it must have been scooped up by his wife along with the Sunday N.Y. Times and a stack of other newspapers when she was getting rid of the clutter, and then tossed into the condominium's trash compactor/shredder.
No joke.
It's that thin and light, it could have gotten lost in a pile of newspapers.
Then I read that Charlie Rose, the PBS program host, suffered a black eye and facial abrasions when he was crossing a NYC street, stepped in a pothole and started to head for the pavement. He had to make a choice: sacrifice his head and face, or sacrifice his newly purchased MacBook Air. He chose to let his face hit the ground rather than the fragile, expensive, sexy little laptop.
Charlie will recuperate fully in time; his laptop would have been permanently damaged.
Life is full of tough choices.

Took my dog Scotty to the vet this morning for his annual checkup. He's doing well, the only problem was some wax buildup in his ears that the doc took care of. The only pain was to my wallet -- $140 for his shots, exam, and medicine.
That dog is just the cutest, nicest pet I've ever had -- maybe the best dog I've ever met. He's a schnoodle (part Schnauzer, part Poodle) that I got from the county pound on March 30, 2007, shortly after my return from Scotland and Ireland (hence the name Scotty). He was a year and a half old at the time.
Little did I know that Scotty had a bad case of separation anxiety when we got him, and literally destroyed our leather couch, tearing it to shreds. What a sight that was when we came home and found the couch's stuffing all over the floor and the nice maroon leather chewed into little shreds.
Cute as he was, Scotty almost went back to the pound that day. But we did our homework, learned what his problem was, and worked with him on it. He's totally fine now. We can leave him out in the house all day and he doesn't do anything wrong.
Scotty weighed 18 pounds when we first got him, and weighed in at 28 pounds today. He literally was skin and bones when we met. His hip joints were sticking up so high I thought he may have had a deformity, but it was just that there was no meat on his bones.
Scotty is a real joy to have around. All our guests love him, and I've learned in retrospect that they weren't very fond of Sadie, my former dog who died at age 10 1/2 in January 2006. I always thought Sadie was a sweetheart -- she was part German Shepherd, part Australian Shepherd and weighed about 45 pounds -- but now people tell me they didn't exactly love her. Sadie was a good dog, followed me everywhere I went, was loving and protective, but just didn't have the personality that Scotty does.

I covered a pretrial hearing on Thursday involving Survivor Doe's civil suit against Gerald Robinson. The case, which the Ohio Supreme Court recently refused to dismiss, involves a Toledo woman, now in her 40s, who said the priest and Jerry Mazuchowski abused her in satanic rituals when she was a child. She said the two dressed as nuns and used fake names, so she did not know their names until she saw them in the media in 2004 and 2005.
She also said in her suit that her mother was in training to become a high priestess of Satan.
Judge Ruth Ann Franks ruled on Thursday that she would not recuse herself -- step aside -- from the case, as Survivor Doe's attorney had requested. For one thing, the request for recusal said Judge Franks was raised a Catholic, which turned out to be erroneous. She also said her husband's role in the 1980 murder investigation, when he was a police lab technician, was unrelated to the civil case and no reason for her to step down.
A trial date was set for May 4, 2009. I really wonder if this case will ever come to trial. Only time will tell.

I really enjoyed meeting Rimpoche Nawang Gelek in person last week. He's a Buddhist teacher in Ann Arbor who fled Tibet in 1959. He has taught a number of celebrities -- not necessarily Buddhists, just people seeking his wisdom -- including Allen Ginsberg, Paula Cole, Philip Glass, and Paul Simon.
The Dalai Lama is coming to Ann Arbor in 3 weeks and I'm planning to cover his talks, but I am still awaiting a response to a request for media credentials.
Meanwhile, the Rimpoche (an honorary term for a reincarnated lama) had some great insights into the unrest in Tibet. You can read my two stories, the first a general profile and update on Gelek Rimpoche and the Dalai Lama's visit here and his observations on Tibet here.

Have you ever heard, seen, or played the video game "Rock Band"? We bought it this week and it is truly a blast. We had some people over the last two nights to play it and I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It's like Guitar Hero, with vocals, drums and bass, so 3 or 4 people can play at once. We named our band Yonkers. The first night, we played with my daughter Cara and her friends, all in their early 20s, and we really rocked the house. Last night, we played with friends who are our own age and we were terrible... but it was so hilarious, no one cared.
You could get addicted to this game... good thing I don't have a lot of free time or I'd be hooked.

Interesting news item from the Vatican:

MUSLIMS MORE NUMEROUS THAN CATHOLICS: VATICAN: Islam has overtaken Roman Catholicism as the biggest single religious denomination in the world, the Vatican said on Sunday. Monsignor Vittorio Formenti, who compiled the Vatican's newly-released 2008 yearbook of statistics, said Muslims made up 19.2 percent of the world's population and Catholics 17.4 percent. "For the first time in history we are no longer at the top: the Muslims have overtaken us," Formenti told Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview, saying the data referred to 2006.
This was reported by the very reliable Levine Breaking News Elert.

I am in awe of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French photographer who had such an eye for the moment. I watched a documentary recently that was filmed in 2003, the year before he died at age 96.
Cartier-Bresson took "simple" black and white photos, no special effects, no big studio productions, no special lenses. It was just a quick click and ... the magic happened. As he said in the documentary, "You either get it or you don't."
He had an eye for framing the photos, for being in the right place at the right time, anticipating the imminence of the photo, and was ready when the time came.
I once read a wonderful quote from Henri: "Photography is nothing. It's life that interests me."
Cartier-Bresson was the first photographer who really inspired me back in the 1970s when I started fiddling with an old Nikkormat camera. Even after all these years I still find his work to be astoundingly beautiful and moving.
I would love to have one of his original prints, but they sell for $10,000 and up.... well maybe someday. But in the meantime, I enjoy poring over books of his work and appreciating his incredible legacy.
Here is a link to his official website.
