Not written by me of course. (Here are my thanksgiving thoughts this year. My Thanksgiving ) We added a couple of lines at the beginning about the people who were no longer with us – had left us this year. We Give Thanks Our Father in Heaven, We give thanks for the pleasure Of gathering…

I suppose, that in a certain way, with all the relations and friends who've died this year, a case could be made for "what's to give thanks for?" But of course I don't see it that way. My mother Jeanne died at the age of 88 after a long and productive life, and 21 years…

Here's msgvarsity coverage of the game including links to the highlight videos. A dream realized: Stepinac wins the "AAA" And here are a couple of stats, with the penalty #'s showing why Stepinac offense had trouble getting untracked, as well as their way below average passsing stats. the complete stats are in the article linked…

It wasn't pretty, but Stepinac defeated Iona, 16-14, the two points difference coming on the first snap of the game when Iona made a mess of things and gave up a safety. Stepinac had a 16-0 lead after eight minutes, but Iona sure made it interesting. And Stepinac helped them with a continuous stream of…

Why in the world would I post something about a baby Okapi? Because Brigid and I "discovered" this strange relative of the giraffe while in the Madrid Zoo, long ago. Summer of '79, I think. We couldn't figure out the animal but loved it! Very sadly, there are only about 10,000 left in the wild,…

I already posted a little bit here – Stepinac into the Finals with huge win Here's the article up on MSGvarsity – Stepinac storms past St. Peter's into CHSFL final And here are some video highlights. Highlights: Stepinac 56, St. Peter's 0 Stepinac took the initial lead on its second possession when Coleman took the…

Wow. What a display by Stepinac as they defeat the previously undefeated St. Peter’s of Staten Island. Here’s the score with a few minutes left in the second quarter. And the final score. The crowd – here’s part of it – easily over 1,000 – was loving it. Except the several hundred St. Peter’s supporters…

So we’ll be at Stepinac tomorrow as Stepinac tries to get to the finals. Both teams are 10-0, although Stepinac had a harder schedule and should be favored. St. Peter’s beat Msgr. Farrell 28-7 to get to the semis, but Stepinac beat Farrell 49-0 a few weeks ago. But you never know. Stepinac didn’t play…

Interesting and not the same as what was written in No Easy Day, which I read and reviewed on Amazon  but never did post here. This is from the Telegraph (UK) and the link includes a one minute video. Mr O’Neill told Fox News that it was "just luck" that he ended up as the…
