Various, far-ranging

I am fortunate to know a few folks (personally and "literally"*) who write beautifully. Most folks who stop by this blog know Gashwin, who writes well and prolifically, and Pritcher, whose short commentaries are great nuggets of insight. Izzy writes when he gets a chance -- summers mainly, and I love seeing what springs from his mind.

Warren (Ultracrepidarian) is another writer whom folks might not know. Check out his commentary "peeps", especially if you've lost anyone recently.

Calvert DeForest, Larry "Bud" Melman from the old Letterman show, has died. I'd wondered why he didn't appear on the show's recent 25th anniversary episode. If you remember Larry "Bud", hoist some "Toast on a Stick" in his honor. If you don't, check out Larry "Bud" in the first episode of the Letterman show (until someone pulls it.)

Holy Week is coming. I'm getting pretty excited!

I'll be reviewing the instructions for making perfect palm crosses before we head to Mass Sunday morning.

There are some adorable kids in my family.

* How else but "literally" to describe how you know someone whom you've only met through writings?
