It was a quiet week. Last Sunday we went to Essex Community College to se the musical Xanadu. I am always pleasantly surprised at the quality of their presentations.

Unless you are living under a rock, you know that this weekend is the 250th birthday of our country. There was music, fireworks, and amusements all all kinds. That made this weekend an ideal time to stay home. There had to be some pretty heavy and widespread partying. We had about half the normal number of people at Mass this morning. We went to IHOP for our Sunday breakfast. It also had notably fewer patrons. No doubt aspirin consumption this morning was off the charts.

I hope all are fully recovered from your celebrations and all are doing well.
