Last Tuesday Brigid and I did a quick early morning walk at Croton Point, from where the small RV parking area is. We were shocked by the damage out beyond the RV area, but I suppose we shouldn’t have been. The trees would have taken the full force of the wind, with no protection. Crotonites … Read more
UPDATE: No figuring this – Romney received 2 million fewer votes than McCain did in 2008 & Obama received 10 million less. Just heard that on the radio. Yup. As Dick Cheney would say, my miss was "Big Time". Yesterday I posted here How I think the election will turn out that I thought Romney … Read more
The title is "Goodbye to Glocamorra" and I''m not sure who posted it on youtube. My friend Nancy sent it to me. When I opened it and saw it was 20 minutes long, I thought "I’m just going to watch the first two or three minutes." Of course ended up watching the whole thing. Inwood … Read more
Ugh, the last game of the regular season, by 23-28 against Iona Prep. It was really an excellent game with good play by both teams. Stepinac had their chances to win – had the ball on Iona's 15 yard line with three minutes to play but couldn't get it in. Tim said the locker room … Read more
UPDATE: I showed Tim the two pictures below and he said “Oh my God look at the size of my arms!” Very pleased with himself. With a 27-6 win against Chaminade. Tim’s team just has so much speed, on offense and defense. I am of course massively biased, but Tim is playing better and better … Read more

They’d hurt themselves in the first half with three lost fumbles and a bad snap on a punt that Trinity fell on in the end zone for a touchdown. But … Read more
I posted about he new Doctor of the Church here a couple of days ago. Fr. George Rutler wrote about her, and anothe Hildegard, in his weekly parish email from the Church of Our Saviour in NY at 38th St. and Park Ave. I found it interesting and am posting it in it's entirety. FROM … Read more
Well, Tim got moved to defensive tackle from defensive end. A big chore; he is strong as a bull but only 5'8", 187 lbs. And going against St. Anthony's of Long Island; whose varsity is ranked #2 in NY State. It's fair to say that they attract many of the best players on Long Island. … Read more
And it's one in three for adults under 30. Study is by the Pew Research Center and this is a good summary article from yeserday's Chicago Tribune. The number of adults who consider themselves atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular" has increased from about 15 percent to nearly 20 percent in the last five years, … Read more
