My friend the late Fr. Paul Brouillette was huge Seeger fan and fellow banjo player; he once played and sang this in church.

I lived in Seattle during the show's run; it was a lot funnier than that era's Saturday Night Live was most weeks, although the humor in the best sketches depended on local knowledge. I heard that no matter who "wins" the debate, the museum benefits; makes me want to donate to…

A cold white blanket of snow covers Burbclavia; we managed to get to the gathering place to celebrate the new year with family and eat yummy chili with all the extras, and the obligatory lox ‘n bagels. My nephew Josh is in town and brought his girlfriend Ashley; FIL Shel and Linda made the trek and so did my BIL Dan and his girlfriend Tammy.
