FLASH - Helms has a heart?
The media is reporting N.C. Senator Jesse Helms is doing well after surgeons replaced a valve in his heart. One is constrained to ask, "Where did they find it?"

From bison meat to chauffeured limousines
Writing about the Washington scene after September 11, Bill Hogan wrote: "...never have so many lobbyists for so many different special interests so blatantly wrapped their requests for subsidies, tax breaks, and other forms of federal largesse in patriotic packaging." (Mother Jones, March/April 2002)

What is he afraid of?
Is it my imagiantion or is President Bush speaking only at military installationsand schools? Saw where he addressed the VMI "kadets" recently and is scheduled to address West Point cadets next month. Seems his father preferred these captive and most likely favorable audiences.

Some passing moments
We gave my mother a fine sendoff on April 2, 2002. My brothers selected readings from scripture, my oldest sister read "Trees" and I delivered a eulogy. All of us, my two brothers and two sisters and I, selected the hymns to be sung at the funeral Mass. The Mass was held in St. Patrick's church in Lowell, MA. This is the church which means the most to us as a family unit. We attended from January 1942 until sometime in the late 50's when my mother moved. Following the Mass, burial was in St. Patrick's Cemetery, close to another plot where her parents and brothers and sisters are buried. Following the brief internment prayers at the cemetery we had a luncheon at Jimmy's Four for 57 family and friends.
