To some people there was some controversy concerning the recent funeral of Sen. Kennedy.  I thought I would post a link to this very thoughtful article published in the Fall River Diocese newspaper--Cape Cod is in the Fall River Diocese, btw.  It helped clarify many issues about "Catholic teaching", which many of us (myself included) think we know, but upon reflection discover we don't really know, and then wonder where the heck we would look to find out.

What a happy girl!

Three weddings down, one to go. Jeff and Ann’s wedding events were in downtown Madison where a highlight was the convention center at the lakefront.  The dinner the night before, the wedding, and the reception were a delightful blur of greetings, watching the couple, and sporadic conversations in the crowd.  We enjoyed recovering on Sunday before starting East on Monday.

Congratulations and wishing you a long and happy life together.

Bracewell Stadium was constructed in natural depression in the center of Burlington.  It was locked when we visited, but is well maintained and still used.

Snake Alley is said to be the Crookedest Street in the country.  It was an optional last challenge on the 2009 RAGBRAI.  (Register's Annual Great Ride Across Iowa)
