Fr. Groeschel, the official guru of the Faranda family. I’ve written about him on a few postings. The CFR’s are a Franciscan community. Go here for their website. Of course final vows – a big day for a Friar. I suppose, akin to getting married. Final Vows, August 1, 2010  

As Farandas complete their fourth wedding attendance of the year – a Grand Slam! All four are children of classmates of mine from Fairfield. Here’s The Cannon clan with new “member” – the groom Robert. From left to right, daughter Laura, Dennis, Denice, and bride Anne-Marie.   And through the miracle of digital photography, here is…

Nice. The catch that kept the Giants alive in the 2007 season Super Bowl, as they scored the winning touchdown four plays later.

A great video, which even a non-baseball fan would likely find fascinating. Mariano Rivera, King of the Closers A-Rod gathered his thoughts. Rivera,…

Jesuit Daniel Berrigan (Full disclosure: I know him a bit; was arrested with him a few times – and how’s that for name-dropping!) turned 89 back in May. When he was interviewed on his birthday, and asked about his life, he said “Well, it hasn’t been boring.” I saw him at the Pax Christi stations o the…

Cannon Chronicles, last seen here . Now this: “… a photo of two spectators at Saturday’s game at the Stadium.  I was the guest of my gracious host, a die-hard Yankee fan.” ROOMMATES

Nice day. Church, gym, reading, Grandma comes down, Yanks shut out Mets (Yay!), beautiful steaks with an Argentinian sauce (Yum!) and of course a Carvel ice cream cake.   More in the ongoing series of my trying to get decent pictures with Joe and Tim – Tim’s eyes   Joe’s “smile”? marginally better – now…
