No worries.

That's a nice hymn.

"7th Great Grandfather?" As in Great-Great-Great... 7x?"

If so, that's a loooooong time ago!

If anyone is curious about the difference of a week between Western and Eastern Easter, Kelly posted a Wikipedia entry about that on her blog.

(the dates they actually coincided a year or two ago)

You are right.

So what has this got to do with the topic of this blog entry...nothing....oh well.
