...WILL OTHERS FOLLOW SUIT? Mark Chopko, general counsel for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, calls the bankruptcy an "act of desperation," though one a "handful" of dioceses might consider. They might be wise to hang back awhile. True, Portland may rationalize its debt, keep discussion of its sins to a relative minimum and set a limit on future claims against old offenses--in other words, extract itself from the nightmare still facing other dioceses.

...sometimes, as a wise boss told me, we need a change even more than a rest. There has to be a reason why people devote their precious two weeks of repose to sweaty hikes through Mayan ruins or intensive courses in power knitting. It could be that the most refreshing break of all is to think about nothing familiar for a while, go someplace strange and learn something new, forget who you are during the rest of the year.
