Introducing ‘Ask Padre’
I'm going to be starting a regular feature called (creatively enough) Ask Padre. If you have a topic that you would like me to touch on, go to the Contact Padre page and send me a message. I'll try to get to as many as I can, with priority going to the best suggestions/questions or the ones that I can offer the most insight or opinion on at the time. I plan posting at least one Ask Padre column a day....
