There are certain responsibilities that come with riding shotgun in the TKJ-mobile (well one) that have been explained in the newsletter, yet most who ride shotgun, do not perform these duties (really one lame task) up to standards. So, in the spirit of bad parenting, since I can’t find anyone else to do it up . . . → Read More: I’ll Ride Shotgun!

Last week was Holy Week. Normally, we do not serve on Holy Thursday or as we call it, Great Thursday, because we are all in church for the 12 Gospels Matins. Some years, we have managed to find non-Orthodox people to serve in our place, but not always. This year, . . . → Read More: Holy Thursday

The way Mayor Nutter is phrasing things, it is like he has “invited” us to come inside and that it is all about concern for the health and dignity of the homeless population. When asked about enforcement, he says, “I’ll get back to you on that.”
The devil is in the details. He started using the Health Dept. . . . → Read More: Why Can’t We All Get Along?

Can someone make pasta and veggies for tonight? I have the ingredients. You can even come over and use my kitchen if you want. I’m sick. Karsten and John are bringing chili and tea down to the street. I was going to make the pasta and get the tea, etc., but not really up to the . . . → Read More: Pasta for Tonight

This is my second “comment” given to Sally O’Brien to pass on to the Health Dept. of Philadelphia regarding their proposed regulation that would require us to submit a menu and schedule one year in advance, prepare food in a commercial kitchen that they inspect, get a permit, etc., etc. There have been no problems with . . . → Read More: Feeding the Poor is Sacramental
