One of the fellas who helps out with the RCIA program at the Pittsburgh Oratory, Bob McCarthy is an author. I thought it'd be cool to give him some free publicity. Check out his books, Dualessence and Song of Autumn. Let me know if you read either book. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to get some feedback.

Since I'm promoting one Pittsburgher, I might as well promote another (though I haven't met this one). CNN has an article on one of the best rock-n-rollers you've never heard of.
