It's December 8th

That means it is my Aunt Millie's birthday. Happy Birthday!
It is also the Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception. If you go to Corbin's Blog sometime later today, I am sure there will be great information on the feast day as well as some very beautiful pictures. (She also has a lot of good Advent stuff if you are interested, too)
However, growing up in the 1970s in Western Pennsylvania, I can't tell you how many people think the day is actually about the Immaculate Reception. While some (Raiders fans, mostly) say that Franco's was not a real catch, the Post Gazette a few weeks ago reported that the Physics of the play prove that it was a clean catch.
You can re-live it with video on the Steelers website.

Thanks for the plug, Ambrose! Guess I better get cracking on today's post, huh? BTW, if anyone is having trouble getting my blog to load, it may be because Blogger seems to be having its semiannual inexplicable freak-out. If Jen's link doesn't take you to a page that loads, then try removing the "http://" part from the url and replace it with a "www". For some reason that's the only way I could get my blog to load this morning.
