I’m going to be gone for most of the day so I don’t have time to post anything long on this subject so I will be brief and to the point.
I’ve called Robert Stacy McCain my friend, I don’t do that lightly, there is a difference between friends and acquaintances.
I call Robert Stacy friend and that call stands, if people don’t like that or are offended by it, so be it!
Be careful what you pray for

Today my pastor wasn’t available so I needed to go to another church for confession.
Lucky for me the wife had some shopping to do near a church this afternoon so I went with her; dropping her off as Marshalls and went down the road to St. Leo’s figuring I could pick her up when done. I was worried as they tend to have a line but as it turned out an extra priest was on so I was in and out of fairly quickly.
After saying my penance prayers in the church I headed down to the road happy that my wife wouldn’t have to wait for me but thinking the penance I was given seemed small.
When I got to the department store the wife was still having trouble deciding what to get in terms of a gift sweater. Once I was there she had me going back and forth with her looking through woman’s sweaters, every one I suggested didn’t make the cut, wrong materials, wrong style, wrong cleaning instructions etc, etc etc…
I learned two important things today:
God has an excellent sense of humor
When God wants to show you mercy, take it, don’t question it!
Here endth the lesson!
Rufus the Airdale dead at 14

We interrupt this blog to announce the death of my Brother’s dog Rufus at the ripe old canine age of 14.
My brother lives just over the 5th street bridge in the 2nd floor of the house that my wife and I lived when we first got married (we were in a tiny 3rd floor attic apt that was smaller than my kitchen and den put together) it’s even a tougher neighborhood than mine but he would still take long walks with Rufus that would occasionally take him across the bridge and by the house.
There is something about dogs, they are a pal in good times and bad, When a dog dies it’s an odd feeling. Earl Hammer and Rod Sterling said it best…
Funny about that.
