I received the following message from Brian, an old friend from NYC. Kelsey is Brian&#8217;s wife&#8217;s God Daughter: &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Kelsey came out of the closet today. First to her family, then on Facebook. She [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year! I&#8217;ve previously mentioned the Christmas Eve bayberry mojo. And now, here is the New Year&#8217;s Eve mojo tradition. A quick internet check shows nothing about my family&#8217;s traditional NY Eve mojo. My guess is that it is a mix of PA Dutch and Scottish tradition, or just something that got started long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zim has some very valid points in his comment to my last post and I think they warrant a response post. First, go read his comments if you haven&#8217;t done so already. The Christmas Spirit; I&#8217;ve found as I get older, that so many things conspire against it. In no particular order: Rampant commercialization of [...]]]></description>

I get caught up in the minutiae of the daily grind and forget what is truly important, truly wonderful: the magic of being alive. It really is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned briefly before Jamie &#038; my recent collision with organized religion and how, through the bad, it did bring about great good. For the two-ish years we attended this particular church, we were heavily invented in it, in all senses of the word; we invested our emotions, our time and our money. As I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As in giving. Giving when you don&#8217;t have to, but rather want to. One of the many good things Jamie and I took away from our brief collision with organized religion, was the concept of charity, of giving. We had a visitation, at our former church, by the treasurer of the diocese, during which he [...]]]></description>
