Good morning, everyone! If you're like me, you need a respite from the nonstop, 24/7 media barrage of coronavirus and/or Super Tuesday news, right?

Repost for Ash Wednesday, ’cause I’m preoccupied, dagnabit!
Hi, everyone! Oops -- just realized I'd forgotten to do a blog post this morning! Dare I say I made an "ash" of myself? (Get it? 'Cause it's Ash Wednesday?) Oh well, sorry!

“Good morning, I’m fat! How are you?”
"I’m fat; how are you?" Great line, isn't it? Sure wish I'd come up with it! But no, I have to give proper credit: it's from Simcha Fischer's "What's for Supper?

Good morning, everyone! Yes, that's right -- as I've occasionally mentioned in this blog before, I'm an Eastern Catholic (Byzantine, Ruthenian, Greek Catholic, or whatever). We're simple folk with different ways, but we're cool. Anyway, the main thing to know about us as it relates to this blog is that even though we're Catholic, we … Continue reading Post-Road Trip, Pre-Lent Weigh-In
