Anna Quindlen’s Classy and Optimistic Goodbye to ‘Newsweek’
It really doesn’t get any classier than this. Reading submissions from outstanding young reporters vying for the Livingston Prize convinced Quindlen that new voices needed to be heard: The last bit of evidence arrived in the form of three binders of news clippings. Because all the submissions for the Livingston Awards have to come from […]
What Does Mike Castle Like About Delaware…?
The “Delaware Way” of course. “I’ve always thought, apart from all that, being from Delaware is fun and interesting because I’m one of seven members of the House who represents the entire state,” Castle said. “We just sort of go about our business and don’t have to worry about somebody nipping at our heels.” There […]

While in Church Funny Haha
So I went to church today and boy did I pick a mass to go to. It was my daughter’s May Crowning. Something that St. Hedwig still does. It’s a nice ceremony, a little long especially since we brought baby squishy. So, as mass is going along the first reading I think by Peter is […]
