We all need a break from blogging at times and hope your lack of desire to blog is not a permanent one. I will miss you and Stacey.

What a busy, busy country you live in. Over here they're thinking of letting priests have relationships because they aren't many left. Is it to attract more new priests or to "breed" (sorry Stacey) baby ones?

Ack. You didn't get around to Wisconsin. Wonder why that is??? Perhaps you were feeling slighted about your inability to comment on my fabulous blog. hmm. could be. I'll go off and find the news that's fit to print about my fair city and come back and report... *going off to check the news* ...

oh yeah... how about my friend who was murdered a few years back and his co-worker? Still no arrest there. But the priest who was a "person of interest" that the investigators had been talking to again recently, the one who's computer they'd taken and searched... he's dead. Committed suicide. And the community is in an uproar and calling for details of the investigation to be released because he must have been the murderer since he went so far as to risk hell over their interest in him... We aren't boring around here!

Keyport is an exciting place, but that is not the most interesting thing that ever happened there. Did you ever see the film called Big Night? That was filmed in Keyport and has many shots of the local color. It's the one about two Italian brothers trying to make in in the American restaurant business and it features the object of everyone's desire, the tympano. (Hey, why don't you make one of those and post that recipe in The Kitchen?)

i've made tympano before. good idea on doing it again and posting it in the kitchen, suzette. gotta wait for a special occasion for THAT one though. just a LITTLE labor intensive.

btw, i LOVE that movie!
