Memberships
On 7 July 2009 I was offered and accepted a position on the staff of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, Silver Spring, Maryland. My work as Coordinator of Information and Records includes maintaining the website: www.cmsm.org/. I start work on Monday, 17 August 2009.
Fotolog
I post some of the better shots I make using the Abbey Web Office's new (2007), Panasonic™ Lumix DMC-LZ7® at "Cybermonk Fotolog." The LZ7 replaces the obsolescent Canon™ Super Shot G3® digital camera from 2003.
The photo upper left shows Cypripedium reginae, also know as the pink and white moccasin flower, or "Showy Lady Slipper." It was adopted as the official state flower of Minnesota on 19 February 1902 and appears in the Arms of the State of Minnesota.
Fotolog.net is an online community of photographers populated mainly by Brazilian teenagers, but "
Gold Camera Members" generally post excellent fotos. Google offers an alternative method for sharing photos at Picasaweb.
The American Benedictine Academy: President Emeritus.
