From
Jerry:
To Everybody,
Purchased a keg of beer for this Saturday-St. Ubaldo Day.La Festa dei
Ceri will return to Jessup after a ten year hiatus. The three teams
and their custom-made, saint supporting structures will begin at 9am,
when buglers will play to start the festival.(Do not come to my house
at 9am Sat).apparantly these teams will be doing a lot of things that
we will not be intrested in until 5p.m.when the race begins. This race
used to be a race where young Italian boys damn near killed each
other. They are promising not to do that this year. I hope they brake
that promise and damn near kill each other again. Anyway, I hope you
come to the carnival which will be going on all day. Hopefully there
will be some decent food and we can drink beer at my house. It would
be good if we started in the afternoon, walked up to check out the
race, got something to eat and then finished off the keg. See you Sat.
Jerry.

PLEASE
READ:
Problem with add banner: This is the price we will have to pay for
hosting this site (Unless of course you want to put up abt. $500 a
year for a web server). As you may have Noticed already insted of that
ad on the top of the page when you come to our site, it is a "pop-up"
ad. Since I added "frames" to the site, the add appered on the side
and the main frame, that could be a pain. Now one ad pops up when you
open the page DO NOT "X" IT OUT
If you close it, everytime you click on a link on the
site a new one will come up, just leave the box in the background (you
can do this by minimizing it using this button " ".
It will leave you alone, if not it will just keep coming back to haunt
you. That is the only price we have to pay to keep this site up and
running. Sorry for the trouble.
