It looks like we've survived the weekend that marks the anniversaries of some of the worst US tragedies without any horrendous mimickry. Our daughters have, in chronological order by event, been picked up at LaGuardia from a South Carolina visit with friends on Friday evening, attended a youth gathering in Yonkers with Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday and spent most of Sunday in the upper deck at Yankee Stadium to celebrate the Mass with the Pope.

Have fun at Colgate. You'll get to brush up on your nonviolence...
