It is the year 1977. My family just moved from New York City to Trenton, New Jersey because of my father’s new job with the New Jersey State Department of Education. Since we have only lived in the community one day, my parents are unfamiliar with the community and attend Sunday Mass at the closest,… Continue reading Clarification on My Feelings on “Ethnic” Parishes

Eat Bagels At Your Own Risk
So I was watching my new favourite TV show (since Angel has gotten so dorky and boring) Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. It is a show in which these two smart, geeky guys attempt to prove or dissprove urban legends by recreating them. In last’s nights epsiode they ate a whole bunch of poppy seed… Continue reading Eat Bagels At Your Own Risk
Mr. Anger has an interesting comment at ECR
I want to thank Pansy Moss for her first-hand example of racial attitudes in America. To address Mr. De Nunzio’s point further, there was no question in the comments on this Blog of ignoring or trivializing racial differences. Indeed, as Pansy says, they are deeply entrenched. The question is, why do these differences exist and… Continue reading Mr. Anger has an interesting comment at ECR
Two Inches of Snow
Yep. And since we are city folk gone country, we did not purchase our pick-up truck snow plow combo yet, and we need to hire someone to plow our drive-way. For whatever reason we cannot seem to get people to return our calls. We think it is because we have not “established” ourselves yet in… Continue reading Two Inches of Snow
The Mysterious Mind of A Four Year Old

In the backyard we have a pond and on occasion what looks like herons (I am not an orinthologist, so I am not sure exactly) come to do whatever it is that they do at the pond. I have no idea what it is, but… Continue reading The Mysterious Mind of A Four Year Old
Workers Start Rounding Up Tigers in New Jersey
This is kind of an interesting saga. When we lived in NJ, we lived not too far from “The Tiger Lady”. My husband was required to deliver to her on occasion and noted she had an assortment of what seemed like wild (acting) dogs and tigers. When the first tiger escaped, it was thought it… Continue reading Workers Start Rounding Up Tigers in New Jersey
Finally Got Out to See Matrix:Revolutions Last Night
I am not sure what I thought of it. It was not like Return of the Jedi in the sense that it had it’s own story, but it was nothing more than a “Part Two” conclusion to Matrix Reloaded. It had lots of neat sci fi special effects, but not enough martial arts in neat… Continue reading Finally Got Out to See Matrix:Revolutions Last Night
More on Inclusive Language
The very fact that Jesus was a male is a stumbling block to you, and we must smooth it over. The very fact that He told us to call God Father — ‘Abba’, ‘Daddy’ — was an error; the only-begotten reproduced Son Offspring of God, who comes to make all things new, was a prisoner… Continue reading More on Inclusive Language
