Why Did You Do It, Chris?
I can remember when I was in school, looking forward to Columbus Day. I really didn't care about the events of 1492 (they could have called it "Cucumber Day" for all I cared). I was simply pleased that we would be getting a day off of school.
Now, I do not like Columbus Day so much. In fact, sitting at my computer right now, I almost wish good old Chris had stayed at home. Why? Because school is not the only thing that is closed on Columbus day. No post office, no bank, no US Stock Exchange...I have many things to do that require the use of one or all of these fine institutions, and they are all closed. Thanks alot, Christopher Columbus.
Couln't we have been just content to name a city in Ohio after him? Did we have to give him his own holliday? Thanksgiving is different. We celebrate on Thanksgiving. There is turkey, and football, and family gatherings. Who celebrates Columbus Day? Nobody. Not the Spanish, not the Americans, certainly not the Indians.
So here I am, with much to be done, and no way to do it.
In the spare time afforded me by Christopher Columbus's inability to leave well-enough alone, I have taken the time to do a few updates on the website.
Deputation Photos I have added some pictures from the last couple of months to this page. Those of you from First Baptist in Dania Beach and Faith Baptist in Ft. Pierce will especially want to have a look.
Internet Accountability This is a link to a wonderful program that I highly recommend. It is called "Covenant Eyes" and it provides accountability for Christians who spend a lot of time on the internet. I have been using it for a while now, and the comfort and safety it provides while traversing the wilds of the world wide web more than compensate for the small monthly fee.
The Blue Frog This is one of my favorite places to hang out with my friends when I am in New York. If you ever find yourself in Cortland, check it out.

If Columbus day is the Italian version of St. Patric's day, the Italians need to find get the name of the Irish community's publicist and hire him!

And now I see that I misspelled Patrick. Oh well.

The Problem is that we Italians like to quietly celebrate our holidays. We are not like the Irish who get drunk and puke al over when they celebrate their saints. Italians are understated and do not need (or want) an Irish Publicist!!!!

It seems that the Chairman has way too much time on his hands. Either that or his robust Columbus Day celebrations have taken an unfortunate turn.
