Today we rate the Psalm section of the 2010 OCP Music Issue (Psalm section), as well as present my Lenten contributions to the Chabanel Responsorial Psalm Project.

Big storm? What big storm? Pictured at left are plows waiting for the "big snow storm." Only catch was, that storm never happened. We finally got some snow about 5:00 last night. It turned out the most we got in our city was a big whopping two inches! Opening segment was actually recorded about 1:00 that afternoon. Supposed blame? Shamus' snow machine malfunctioned!

Feasts for the Week: DOUBLE DUTY! February 8-21. BTW, even the Jungle Screechers were waiting for this "big storm".
