CathCon Daily - 2/8/2016

Good morning! I have considered my "weekly" vs. "daily" format. What I realized is that I am doing the same amount of work for weekly postings versus daily. I still review the same number of articles, still review the same blog postings and news items. I still update the posts daily - I was just making one lengthy post on Fridays. Therefore, I have decided to return to a "daily" format. This was also prompted, in part, by plunging reading levels. Perhaps by posting daily, I can garner more "hits."

As always, I hope the links are thought-provoking and interesting.
