Realistically, so am I.
Edit: The wife and I decided long ago we'd continue to follow traditions to honor our respective cultures. One of my boys has taken an affinity to the church. The other three aren't interested at all.

Na, letting them make their own decisions at this point is overrated. They will have the time to make their own decisions down the road. For now, expose them to your world. They can decide on what ice cream flavor they want and what socks to wear for now.

I'd agree if we were talking about tattoos or something, not religion. Kids are perfectly capable of deciding if they want to follow it at their ages. They can always change their minds later, assuming we still have religious freedom in the country once they grow up. :D

Today is Friday, March 7, the 66th day of 2025
with 299 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter and Mars. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Venus.
On this date in history:
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone.
In 1918, Finland signed a peace treaty with Germany shortly after declaring independence from Russia.
In 1936, Adolf Hitler ordered Nazi troops into the Rhineland, violating the Treaty of Versailles.
In 1945, the U.S. 1st Army crossed the Rhine at Remagen, Germany after capturing the strategically important, Ludendorff Bridge (also known as the Bridge at Remagen). World War II in Europe ended two months later.
In 1965, hundreds of civil rights marchers trying to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., were turned back by state troopers and sheriff's deputies. Dozens of people were beaten and injured in what became known as "Bloody Sunday." Marchers voluntarily turned around on a ceremonial walk to the bridge two days later and, on March 21, with protection by federal and National Guard troops, the main Selma-to-Montgomery march began.
In 1984, the U.S. Senate confirmed William Wilson as the first U.S. ambassador to the Vatican in 117 years.
In 1985, "We Are the World," a song composed by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and recorded by a series of high-profile music stars was released worldwide with the goal of generating funds for the USA for Africa charity. The song and related promotions eventually raised about $63 million.
In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director for her film The Hurt Locker.
In 2013, the U.S. Senate confirmed John Brennan as director of the CIA.
In 2017, Malta's iconic Azure Window, a natural rock arch, collapsed into the sea during a storm.
In 2024, Sweden became the 32nd member of NATO after a longstanding policy of nonalignment.

Weird autopsy for Gene Hackman and his wife. She apparently died a week before him from Hantavirus. He died of heart failure and advanced alzheimers. The dog died of starvation in it's crate.

He might have starved too and just didn't know any better. I wonder how the other dogs survived.

It all makes sense now. They claimed partial mummification and all that.

It's also the first no-meat Friday for Catholics. Today's sandwiches were grilled cheese on rosemary bread with apple slices in the middle.
Sounds tasty. I was thinking you'd go with tuna fish sammiches. Plenty of Fridays left to go.
Oldest worked Wednesday. She was not prepared for the amount of fish filets they sold.
And apparently, that had nothing on today. They had all 3 fryers going at one point making fish, until one of the fryers very loudly stopped working. 😆
