Tsh chats with Stephanie Duncan Smith, a book editor who’s been thinking for a while about the liturgical calendar. They get into Eastertide — and the beauty of its length (50 days), how it’s good that feasting always follows fasting, why Ordinary Time is magical, and how it all fits together with the rhythms of our personal lives (and how it feels when it sometimes doesn’t).

Last night, a majority of the Senate Republican Caucus voted against a statewide legalization and expansion of Vegas-style casinos. API sincerely appreciates each of the Senators that understood the negative impact that legislative action would have had on our state.

The House gambling bills quickly swept through that chamber but ran into a buzzsaw in the Senate. A 1.49 million percent increase in access was too much to consider; the ability of an unaccountable gaming commission to transfer locations and/or operators was untenable; and the timing of the statewide vote and those faithful souls who believe that Alabama should resist balancing state budgets on the backs of the poor were among those who refused to vote for the House-approved bills.
