I am sure, unless you seriously live under a rock, you have heard of the remarks made by Don Imus last week on his nationally televised (What’s with radio being on TV anyway?) and broadcast radio show. I will admit that I sometimes listen to the Imus in the Morning show. I never watch it [...]

One of My Favorite Things
Posted in Just my Thoughts on 10 April 2007 | No Comments »
I did one of my favorite things today. Actually, I am still in the process of doing it.
I love to make potato soup. It takes a good part of the afternoon to make a soup that is a meal like this. And from scratch is so much better than canned. So right now, there are [...]
An Icon Dies

I live in Endicott, New York - famous for a pro golf tournament, the B. C. Open, and for a cartoon artist. Last year it was almost the golf tournament that was lost. This past weekend it was Johnny Hart.
Johnny Hart created and drew, with others, Wizard of Id and BC. I love these comic [...]
Have a Blessed Easter
Posted in Just my Thoughts, Religion on 8 April 2007 | No Comments »
In what is arguably the most beautiful Mass of the church year, I attended the Easter Vigil last evening. Not only does this Mass celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ - the basis for Christianity - it also welcomes adult converts into the Church.
Twenty-four years ago, I was one of those adults. I love watching [...]
Games on the Computer

Since I work all day on the computer, I seldom play games. Last year or the year before, though, one of my kids introduced me to a game site - Grab.com. At Christmastime, my daughter at college would send me challenges to see if I could be her at a game called “Night Before Christmas.”
This [...]

Probably not an apt title for this particular entry.
Today is Holy Thursday, called Maundy Thursday in some religions. I don’t recall this being as big when I was growing up as it is now. I truly enjoy tonight’s Mass. Though it is longer than the normal Sunday Mass, it celebrates the Last Supper.
This time of [...]
A Spring Ritual
Posted in Just my Thoughts on 4 April 2007 | No Comments »
In my area of the world - or maybe it is in my own little world, one spring ritual is a good snow. That is coming, unfortunately. But this morning, I got to practice a different spring ritual.
I was woken up by thunder. I thought it was the middle of the night as the light [...]
Is the EPA really as stupid as the Supreme Court case makes it seem?
Posted in Just my Thoughts, Politics on 2 April 2007 | No Comments »
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, in dissenting opinion regarding the case Massachusetts et al vs. EPA et al, said “No matter how important the underlying policy issues at stake, this court has no business substituting its own desired outcome for the reasoned judgment of the responsible agency.” He and the other four conservative justices, including [...]
Baseball Season
Posted in Just my Thoughts on 2 April 2007 | No Comments »
Okay, so I am told by the news, that opening day has happened. I use to love baseball. I can remember watching games - any games - as a teenager and keeping box scores in a notebook. That all changed in 94 due to the “work stoppage.”
I am one of those baseball fans that found [...]
The Most Important Week of the Year

Today starts what is arguably the most important week of the Christian year. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. As Christians are a people of the risen Christ, Easter and His resurrection are the most important time of the church year.
Palm Sunday marks Jesus’s triumphant ride into Jerusalem. At this time as Christians [...]
