In addition to my request for my friend the Right Wing Gamer, please pry for the soul of my Sister in Law’s Mom who died Friday and my son who spent several hours in the hospital with a nasty infection.

Off to the Madonna Della Cava Festival today

However have no fear, I have a bunch of scheduled posts coming up covering things from the Ground Zero Mosque, Tire Maintenance, and more chapters to the Field guide.
If you are in driving range of Fitchburg here are the details.
There will be a procession from St. Anthony School (Salem Street) containing the Banner of the Madonna, The local branch of the society, a honor guard from the Knights of Columbus and the parishioners and a band.
After a short prayer the procession will enter the church where the banner will be placed and Mass will be celebrated.
Rep Steven DiNatale of Fitchburg will briefly speak before the 1st reading on the devotion.
At the conclusion of Mass the Rosary will be said in English.
A second procession will then escort the Banner of the Madonna to the Church hall.
The Band will perform and Italian Food and pastry will be served.
The ceremony will conclude with the Rosary in Italian.
Things begin at 10 a.m. It would be a good idea to get there a little early for parking.
And no I didn’t pull a Rahm Emmanuel as suggested last year so I won’t make a buck off of it.
We interupt this blog for a prayer request

Yeah I’m up a little later than normal, but it’s always important to remember that there will always be a new headline and a new annoyance in the news to opine about on the hour ever hour, but the wife next to you is a precious gift.
Never forget that when you make a tweet and a snark more important that the person who shares your bed, eventually you will share it only with your laptop and the people you speak to from afar.
