Back Online With Some Sad News

I had no Internet, and no TV, for more than a week, and when I got back on, I found out that Fr. Anthony's twin sister, Anne Marie, passed away last week.
I also learned that Mother Angelica's health has declined, and she is now on a feeding tube.

Fr. Anthony's Sister: Update

A few years ago, I shared this sad news   about Fr. Anthony's sister, Anne Marie.  I have an update:
Fr. Leonard announced at today's Mass on EWTN that she has entered hospice care, and
Fr. Anthony was traveling to be with her.
Please pray!

Written Out

I think I may have overdone my writing lately.  I don't feel like working on  any of my fanfics right
now.  I don't feel like blogging.  I feel, for now anyway, written out.
So why am I writing about not feeling like writing?

Why I No Longer Wear Pajamas

I stopped wearing pajamas when I moved to Ronkonkoma. Why?  Simple.  My kitchen window
has no shade.  I could get one, but I'd rather have the view, and I think Winky would agree
with me about that.  He loves looking out that window.
Besides, it's so nice to see the trees, especially now when they are turning all sorts of colors.
