Snow day! That saves me a nasty drive into town. I normally play for Mass on Fridays - unless there is a snow day.

What to do with the new found free time?

Word of the day
Friday after Epiphany
Today the Church celebrates : St. Apollinaris, the Apologist, Bishop (2nd century)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 5:12-16.

Now there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where he was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, "Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do will it. Be made clean." And the leprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but "Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them." The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.
