I realize that it is just a number but over 100 families will no longer be the same after the month of October 2006.

Yesterday, I listened to a very interesting interview between Terry Gross & Julia Sweeny, SNL’s “Pat”. Her experience with religion is a lot more interesting than my own, though there are parallels.

DiCaprio, Damon, Wahlberg, Sheen and Baldwin all do [...]
