Picking Up the Feast Mantle Again
It appears that none of the Oaken dwellers will win any prolific blogging awards, as all of us feel increasingly uneasy about trying too hard to articulate thoughts in such an impersonal and quirky medium. Still, we want to keep this page fresh with updates on various feast days and happenings at the very least.
Last night Andy told us about Saint Anna, Jesus' grandmother, so I'm not going to rehash the same territory tonight -- even though the major feast is for the Parents of Our Lady. Instead, I'll throw the spotlight on Saint Paraskevi, a very brave female martyr from the year 140.
In other news, Jason and Tinamarie will be returning tonight from their odyssey up north. Andy and Angelic have headed to the beach with some friends for a few days. Oh, and Evan and co. should be putting the finishing touches on the extra wall they are building in order to more sufficiently sound-proof the garage / media / rehearsal room. Hopefully Tacks the Boy Disaster will be able to jam at night without disturbing the greater Abbey peace...
