So I’m reading the weekly religious page of our local paper to see if I’ve accidentally been saved when I wasn’t looking and lo and behold there is an article about a group of nuns who have started an “Adopt a Sister” program to help pay for the care of the elderly nuns in their order. I read a little further and lo and behold it is the nuns who taught me in grade school – the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco (you had to be able to spell all of that before you moved from kindergarten to first
Bra shopping
Just another thing on my list of things I never want to do again in this lifetime. Ever. Because there is nothing like a firm and lithe young lady coming in to the room and bringing you ever stronger bras to hold up all that’s sagging while hers stand at attention with no help.
And why…
is it called good with a capital G? I’m betting that for Jesus, parts of it had to be pretty miserable.
Is it a contradiction in terms….
to wish someone a happy Good Friday?
Is it true?
Is it true that the Apostles were the first OPEC and that they declared Fridays and Lent meatless times to increase their share of the fish market?

I’m not referring to illegal immigrants who might receive taxpayer funded health care because their under minimum wage, off the books, jobs leaves them no choice.

It’s unanimous
April is Child Abuse Awareness month. I was on a call in radio show this morning called Talk of Alaska to discuss this topic. It was unanimous. We are all against it.
Be prepared
Everyone in the Anchorage bowl area should be prepared for a blizzard tonight since I’m having my studded snow tires changed out today. Sorry about that.
Is it just me or….
Is it just me or does Tom Cruise just continue to get stranger with each interview? And seriously, have they sucked out what few brains Katie Holmes might have had going into this fake relationship? One is reminded of a certain 50s macho male star and his brief abortive marriage.
