Dee and I spent the weekend in Staunton, Virginia with friends. We all attended the Frontier Culture Foundation, “Beach Blanket Bingo” party. The band was Steve Ambrose and “The Original Rhondels.” It was a great evening! Steve is a good friend and we enjoyed the music, dancing and excellent food. There was even a screen setup that showed the old Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello movie.

“This talk is difficult for Fr. Mike to give, but sadly, it is also necessary. Since the Pennsylvania Report was released, practically every headline with the word “Catholic” in it has been about the report, which covers seventy years and gives accounts of three hundred priests who allegedly abused over one thousand minors over. Indignation is not the main message Fr. Mike wants to express here—although he feels that too. More than anything, he wants his viewers to know that now—more than ever—we need to live virtuous and holy lives and become the saints the Church needs.”

I posted “The Reverend Arrives in Briartun” this week. There are photos of him and other villagers.

This is nitpicking, but shouldn't John McCain's birth year be 1936? ;)
