Since I haven't spent many of the last few weekends in the 4th compass point, there has been lots going on, but I haven't been here to write about it. But tonight I was inspired on the way home from 6:00 PM mass at the Shrine of the Holy Cross. For those of you where it is still cold, I apologize for the next line - It is tee shirt weather here. So that was the first part. If this weather occurred anywhere north of I-40 it would be called "Spring" and the Groundhog would be out of a job. Add to that the full moon, wispy clouds, and spanish moss hanging in the trees and it looks exactly like the way the walls and ceilings are painted for the Pirates of Caribbean Ride at Disneyland. Temperature is about the same as well. So for those of you that have to walk on the sidewalks because there is snow everywhere else on the ground, sorry. It ain't like that here. The extra good fortune with the weather is that it is providing a bit of a lead-up for my trip to Thailand at the end of the week. The weather there is in the 90s, so atleast I don't have to go from the 30s to the 90s on the way out. I am giving Indiana plently of notice that I don't want to do that on the way back either when I head up there on the 24th.
In case no one else has talked about it in your parts. Samantha was excellent in "Dearly Beloved" a couple of weeks agon. The entire caset and crew put on a very fine show.
Other Noblesville news is that Matt (Guerin Catholic's swimmer) is poised for a successful run through the State Swimming "Tournament" (this is the official name). Sectionals in a couple of weeks and then (hopefully) the State Championship Meet the following week. I am planning to be in attendence to assist the assistant coach at the State Meet. People argue whether it takes a village to raise a child, but there is now doublt that it takes one to have a swim team at Guerin :-)
Also, I have plunged further into the Web 2.0 world and got on Face Book. It is very easy to see how it could come to consume a person. I also now know how to Skype and have a web cam that allows for helping with algebra homework from 700 miles away. The upside is that I have had fun contact with the folk in Indiana, that would have been very difficult without it. Stay tuned

Well, if it takes a village to run that Guerin swim team, you are definitely the head chief! Without you, none of it would be possible. Everyone just looks at us like we are some kind of crazy with this whole swimming for Guerin thing! They definitely think YOU are CRAZY to put up with all of it! Aren't we fortunate? Thanks for the shout out for Matt in this...swimmers are only as good as their coaches!
Any more talk of the fair weather in Alabama and you might risk lynching this next trip north...enough with the snow already! Bring sunshine and high temps when you come.
