If you haven't been following the ever-brilliant and creative Natalie d'Arbeloff's illustrated story, "La Vie en Rose," now might be a good time to start. There was a hiatus, but Natalie has started up again, and I, for one, am anxious to find out what's next for Susan and her unlikely friend, Père Lafitte.

I don't think I've ever seen a priest or nun whizzing by on a bike, but if it happens anywhere, Montreal would be a good bet. Today was the first day I rode to work on my own bike this spring, and it felt great. Unfortunately, it's supposed to snow again tomorrow!
Beth, merci beaucoup! It's such a pleasure to see Père Lafitte whizzing by on your page. Cycling priests are not uncommon in Italy, Rome especially of course, but they tend to be the young ones - not like le vieux Lafitte!
I'm working on the next episode and a couple of illustrations right now and hope to post them in the next few days. Thanks again for the boost.

A late, great priest in my diocese was an avid cyclist, and arrived for meetings on his bike. As fit and healthy as he was, he died far too soon--of a congenital heart condition, undiagnosed in his lifetime and discovered only in the autopsy. He had such zest for life and living, and I shall always miss his presence.
I happened to be in Montreal when he died...and so missed his funeral, which I regret.
I've seen a motocycling priest in Italy. We have at least one female one here in NH!
