Seven Cities of Greed
 This
year celebrates not only the four hundredth
anniversary of Santa Fe, New Mexico it also
commemorates four hundred years of worship at St.
Francis Cathedral. The original building is gone,
but the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi,
the passion of Bishop John Baptiste Lamy, was built
around its adobe walls.
Sixty years before the
founding of Santa Fe, the first Franciscan priest to
come to the area was Father Marcos De Niza when he
searched for the cities of gold. Seven Cities of
Greed follows the path of Friar Marcos, as
traveled by a group of Chicagoans in search of
adventure.

 The Way of the Cat
Teaching Humans to Be
Finally, a book by a cat, for cats to
help humans become more like cats—more peaceful,
more philosophical, more… well, perfect.
The Way of
the Cat is filled with quotes from such humans
as Shakespeare, Dickens, Collette, and Gandhi and
with pictures of Xena (and some of her legendary
heroes). Chapters like: “Walking Your Talk;” “When
Do We Eat?;” “Let
a Sleeping Cat Lie;” “Our Furry Bodies, Our Selves;”
“Mumbles and Meows;” “A Tail of Two Kitties” and
more. The Way of the Cat may well be the
vehicle humans need to get “back on the path.”
