My
last blog entry “The Fishbone Out of Nowhere” pertained to St. Blaise, the
patron saint for throat ailments. I
decided to read some more on the subject of patron saints, and consequently I
discovered that there is even a patron saint for computers and the internet! Who
knew?
I
am thus sharing my “findings” herein.
