Grandparents' Day


September 7th is National Grandparents' Day. I found this appropriate photograph of one of my favorite grandparents, Grandpa Munster, with his family. Somehow Sister St. Isabelle is also in the photo. How she got there I don't know. People should learn to mark their photographs. Another famous boomer grandparent was Granny Clampett.

rain along the east coast

September 6th we have rain from Hurricane Hannah moving up the east coast. As Sister Florence would want us to know, "rain is a product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is released on the Earth's surface."

more football


Here is a football story:

One Friday evening a man walked into the Necho Allen Hotel and sat down at the bar with his pet dog. The bartender said, “Sorry buddy. No pets allowed. You will have to leave.”

The man replied, “This is a special dog. You have the Nativity football game on WPPA radio station, don’t you?”

“Yes I do,” was the response.

The customer said, “Watch my dog. Whenever Nativity scores, my dog does a flip.”

At that moment, Nativity just scored a touchdown and the dog flipped in the air.

“Wow! that is one hell of a dog you got there. What happens when Nativity wins the game?”

The man responded, “I don’t know. I only had the dog for four years.”

The photograph above includes young Joe Paterno
at bottom left, Joe Namath bottom right, and, of course, the classic Peanuts cartoon - all memories of the 1960's.

home economics class

I cannot identify everyone in this photograph which appears to be a sophomore year home economics class of girls working on the latest in 60s fashion design, with Knucklehead Smiff as the celebrity dummy. If anyone can identify who the others are (or correct any misidentifications), please drop an email.
