We’re getting a bit of snow today. How much we’ll get, I’m not sure; I keep hearing different amounts. Additionally, it’s not due to get above freezing until next Thursday, which should put us right around 10 days of below-freezing weather. (I still go out, in the morning on snow-covered ground, barefoot, to start the [...]

A rerun per my July 5th, 2009 note to you all. It is edited quite a bit. Originally posted September 3, 2005. Many of you are probably unaware that just a mouse-click away is a .wav file featuring the St. Brendan’s 5th-grade band playing Jingle Bells. And not just Jingle Bells – but Jingle Bells [...]
