A LITTLE TRAVELING MUSIC SAM
Sam, the younger of my nephews, got hit by a car yesterday. Fortunately it all ended with only minor injuries & major frazzled nerves. His voice is changing, but he's still horribly accident_prone. Being a concerned & conscientious uncle, I'm required by law to say: Whoooa, Sammy! Last night I saw an early Alfred Hitchcock movie. It wasThe Manxman, the very last of his silent films. I really didn't know that he'd ever even made any silents. It turns out that he made very many early movies besides the ones we're all really familiar with. Yesterday I went back over to the mall & this time I got the directions exactly right. The new lector schedules for O.L. Sorrows came out this morning. They were in the sacristy when I first showed up. Eddie, in Lindenhurst, please take note. The lectors, etc. over here are just as hit_&_miss as they are at O.L.P.H. Today's the Feast of San Gennaro, a realy biggie in New York. Some cousins of mine took me to Jack Dempsey's in Manhattan one night in the nineties for my birthday & that's how I remember the connection. Miz Kitti appears somehow never to have noticed my big move. She just recently sent me an e mail asking where I live. She calls me Larabie. Larabie is no longer in his old stomping grounds. I just found out that Yoko Ono is now on Myspace. Oooooh YooooKo. I wonder what Beatle John could have done with the internet era.

NICE DAY SO FAR
After a very bitter cold, foggy morning it's turning out to be a swell day so far. Miz Kitti & I are quite through with drowning our sorrows about our birthdays. We're exactly a year & a day apart. The library was a bit busier than average yesterday because it was some big Jewish holiday so the schools were closed. A couple of years ago, the big day was even on my birthday. That was quite a groovy feeling. Gas prices are going up barrel_wise, but I haven't really noticed all that atrocious a jump_lately, that is_at the pumps. Oddly, they seem to bounce up & down. Today I was at Mass at St. Joseph's so I got the paper from the machine on the street instead of bothering to go to the Unimart. Believe it or not, around here, that's about one of the most exciting things that can happen to a guy. Lately, I've been most certainly getting quite seriously interested in finding out all kinds of especially groovy things that can be done on the internet. Of course, Uncle Frankie, junk food guy extraordinaire, was for sure to make his inevitable appearance last night, candy kisses in tow. With him around we always get both to catch up on the gossip & gain weight. I've been trying not to eat too much lately. I recently read that men's waistlines are around three inches wider now than they were in 1985. Fat is not a nice thing.

MUCH COLDER LATELY
Very many birthday wishes have come my way lately. On Saturday night, all the West Wyoming kinfolk came over. It was fattening but all worked out quite well. Miz Kitti remembered me. Today is her birthday. Let us all wish her the very grooviest of days. My nephew Michael even called me last night. I spent most of the day at St. Joseph's Harvest Festival. There was a big bingo game downstairs in one of the buildings. By the time I finally got home I was utterly exhausted. I worked at the dice wheel with Dave, whom I had never met before. John & his wife were in charge. They were both complete strangers to me too. Billy & his wife showed up. I pigged out & drank a lot. Andy from Tripp St. showed up. Saturday night I was supposed to lector at 5:00 p.m. Mass but I trusted my memory instead of bothering to check the schedule. I showed up at 10:00 a.m. Mass yesterday & lectored then instead. All worked out well anyway. The past few days have been awfully violently cold compared to what I'm used to. Michael said it's cold in New York too. Cathleen's on vacation all this week so I don't get to pick on her for quite a while.
