  1. I still feel like this when it snows!

    No candles, however, except in the imagination.

  3. Too high church for me, by half. You Presbyterians didn't move far enough to the left during the Reformation. (Sorry, AndiF and maryb)

  4. No apologies to me -- I'm a (non-practicing, atheist) Jew but I grew up in a Catholic neighborhood so I'll accept your apologies in the name of the Rockwells, the Maras, the Gorskes*, the Beans, and the rest of the my block.

    * the other neighborhood anomaly -- Pennsylvania Dutch Catholics.
