I was up on Friday visiting Sister Joyce at the hospital and one of her friends was there and asked about the word caminoheads.  I had to do some remembering myself to come up with the beginnings of that.  That was three years ago next month.  We are coming up on our anniversary.  But I digress, caminoheads came from two places really.  One was a little poem or quote where the author was writing about the drug-like qualities of the Camino as in you will get hooked.  Can’t get enough right?  And you are always thinking about how to get back to it., right?   And the other was, and totally unrelated, the snack food Cheeseheads.  Maybe they don’t have them where you are but they are a stick of mozzarella chesse handily wrapped in plastic and ready to throw in your lunch box or pack.  There is a friendly if not a little crazy looking character printed on each that is the Cheesehead.  So, those two things kind of came together in a certain right brain kind of way and Saint James is your uncle,

Also in the news is the big championship basketball game tonight between the evil pagan North Carolina Tarheels and the pious good looking Gonzaga Bulldogs.   Now I’m not biased on this one, am I?  I caught the fever from Kelly, I’ll blame it on him.

I wanted to include a little history lesson on Saint Gonzaga.  Not that I am trying to curry any favor to influence things.  Anyway, Aloysius Gonzaga is the patron saint of youth.  OK, that’s the first thing.  I am consulting a wonderful book of the saints that Padre Tomas gave to me.  There is not a lot on him here.  He lived from 1568-91.  “Despite his family’s military ambition for him, he became a Jesuit.  Feast Day: 21 June.”  Well that is not a lot.  Oh, here is a little more in the Jesuit section, “nursed plague victims and wrote important texts.”  Wow, now that’s lame.  If I am not mistaken he died of that very same plague at an early age.  We will have to revisit this history when we have more time.  Go Zags!

Off to walk.  Most of my regulars are off on missions and probably be alone.  I’ll take the camera and capture something.   Later, love, Felipe.
