May God's blessing be upon you. This website has my musings about Catholicism, Economics and my interests in general. I am a PhD economist with varied interests. I have recently entered into coal mining as I resigned from my academic positions in the fall and decided I needed spiritual growth and a more physical job. I started working on the section that cuts out the mine for the long wall. It's physical but rewarding. I took to coal mining like a duck to water.​ This is by far my favorite career and pay is better than corporate or academic work. If I could go back I would skip the PhD and go straight to the mine. But the PhD is handy for data work I'm starting for the mine.​​​
