Aw, thanks, P.J.! Arte y Pico award

As a reward for getting up late, I have received the Arte y Pico blogger award from the snazzy, zippy, tender-hearted literata, the one and only P.J., whom Padre Mickey (another award recipient - can you tell there is mutual admiration society here?) calls "hilarious" and and "a genius." (I agree. That woman can write!)

Thank you, thank you! I am honored.* Follow-up once I have posted the self-serving post above (for the good of the world church, of course) and gotten some work done.

* Origins of the Premio Arte y Pico here, c/o a Uruguayan blogger.

* P.J. recognizes Acts of Hope for "sheer volume of information, abundance of goodness, and overall healing of the world. And for Ms. Maya Pavlova, too."

* Her Grace Maya Pavlova sends her literary best, as you can see to the right. (Overexposed photo but still sweet.)
