R.I.P. FR. MCGROARTY
On this day in 1616, literary giants William Shakespeare & Miguel de Cervantes both died. It was not on exactly the same day though, but it is recorded as such because of the difference in England's & Spain's calendars during their era. The weather lately has been very bad. There has been an icy cold rainstorm around here ever since early last evening. Last week I got my very first ever ticket for a moving violation. It was on Tenth Street in Wyoming. The library & Methodist church next door will be having another book sale. They have some very good prices on some very good books. Uncle Frankie came over for a while yesterday to have supper with us. The Carmelite meeting went well this past Saturday morning in Wilkes~Barre. We have them every third Saturday of the month at 9:00 a.m. at the Little Flower Manor. While I was there my parents went out for some Chinese food with Fran & Uncle Frankie. Unfortunately Fr. McGroarty from St. John the Evangelist Church in Pittston died last week at about ninety~four years of age. I went to his wake on Thursday afternoon. There was also a Mass of Transferral on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. & a funeral Mass on Friday at 11:00 a.m. I used to see him at St. John's quite frequently for Mass & confession.

THREE PREGNANCIES

The weather's been awfully nice lately but autumn still encroaches upon us. That's a combination of good news & bad for me. Uncle Frankie showed up for a while yesterday. Unfortunately the phone rang off the hook all yesterday & last night. Aunt Lauren & Mary Anne, among others, both called. Tomorrow will be my fiftieth birthday. So far I still don't feel anywhere near that old. It's such an ominously large number. I really don't have any plans for the big day. Besides me & KrissyKrissyKrissy, birthday kudos this month for kin also go out to: Tyler, Shannon, George III, my father, Eddie & Jessica. Today's the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the patronal feast day of my parish. Shannon's also pregnant, making three new babies. She's the Ronald's daughter in law. I suppose I shall have to get a haircut eventually. I watched that show about Shakespeare on EWTN yesterday. Joseph Pearce is the host.
