OCTOBERFEST

Today is the very first day of October. I'll bet the folks over in Lindenhurst are all geared up for the Rotary Club's big Octoberfest next weekend. I miss the days when I could show up at those things. I knew everybody in town over there. Today, St. Therese's feast day, is the last day of the novena in Wilkes_Barre. Mass is at 5:00 p.m. & will by celebrated by a visiting bishop. The traffic & parking will be an absolute nightmare. Uncle Frankie & Fran showed up on Saturday & gave my father lots of popcorn for his birthday. Last night I saw an old classic movie, Gaslight. It starred Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten & Angela Lansbury. I can remember having seen it twenty years ago, but I don't remember anything about it. Soon, I shall have to get back to all those Hitchcock movies. Lately, the weather has been very cold in the morning & warm later on in the day. Saturday night, my lectoring at O.L.Sorrows went well. There was a visiting priest & all ran quite smoothly.
