National...

We appreciate you

... Squirrel Appreciation Day. Just when you thought that we forgot to appreciate a group with a special day, well, you're wrong... because we even remembered to have a day just for our furry friends... squirrels. Thanks to Julie Scott, mother of Stedsman, Chris Scott, we can remind you of this very special which we could have easily overlooked. Now, many would say that we appreciate our furry friends enough as we devote an entire day to them every week. True, but you know what, having a special appreciation day is really says it all. On this Squirrel Appreciation Day, Fr. Ralph Haag, CSC, Rector and squirrel friend, said, "Make sure to appreciate a furry friend today!"

Championship Monday!

McKenna, Gallagher, Mackie and Fischer with Gillis (center)...

Who knew will would ever be looking forward to a Monday, but we did... this Monday! If you didn't know, because you were living in a cave, today is the National Championship Playoff! And as Irish fans gather in Atlanta to cheer on their team, so too the Stedsmen. One group of Stedsmen had a chance encounter with none other than Shane Gillis. After dinner, while walking down the street in Midtown Atlanta, a group of Steds freshmen encountered a group of guys walking in the opposite direction. Patrick Fischer, Henry Mackie, and Shaun McKenna took a double take, with Henry pointing and calling out Shane Gillis. Next thing you know, they got a picture with Shane and his dad. Both were very friendly and happy to oblige. On encountering Shane Gillis, Shaun McKenna, Steds freshman and resident Connecticuter, shared, "Shane and his electric optimism drove our Irish spirits higher than we thought possible. The Irish will be crowned once again!”

Your Sunday picture...

... from Notre Dame. Here's a picture of the sunset over St. Mary's Lake from the World Peace Plaza. Yes, it's cold, snowy, and windy, but even now, God can take of all this and create a scene that not only captures our attention and imagination but also our minds and hearts, raising them to Him. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Saturday Squirrel.

Tough times

It's cold. It's very cold. And for our furry friends, it's cold for them too. How do they make the best of it? Well, it a variety of ways, and one of those ways is seen above. This squirrel, spotted in St. Ed's Park, is not only using his tail to help stay warm but also the tree. Yes, squirrels use the trees about campus as shelters from the cold winds, thus staying warm. On being spotted before a wind breaker, this squirrel non-verbaled, "Hey, can someone turn on the heat?"

What's the word...

A lot of chatter

... in the Steds hallway? Yes, what is the word in the hallway on this Friday, the eve before the National Championship Game in Atlanta? Well, to be honest, there weren't many words because there were not many people about in the hallways because they're all on their way to Atlanta! But there is one... Camden Hershberger! On the Championship Game, Hershberger, Steds freshman, Red Room sports analyst, and resident Indianian, said... well... you'll just have to listen to podcast to hear what he said! And believe me, Hershberger said a lot!

It...

Welcome friend!

... may have snowed, but it's not a complete loss! Yes, the false prognostications of the weathermen as well as our hopes of snowless January with mild temps may ALL have been dashed with the recent snowfall, we do not have a complete loss at Notre Dame. Yes, even now, with everything covered in white and single digit, even sub-zero, wind chills, it is NOT a complete loss. How can that be? Because after the snow left, a new friend appeared! Yes, after the snow left, this friend, a snowman, appeared on the west side of La Fortune. How long will he stay? Who knows, but you know what, we're just glad he's here. On the appearance of this new friend, Fr. Ralph said, "We welcome this surprise wayfarer to campus, who lifts our spirits and warms our hearts, on these cold, cold days... and I think he's looking to move to St. Edward's Park. I would too!"

Surprise!

... snowed. Just when "they" said we were in the clear, it happened. Now, with twenty/twenty hindsight, we should have known better, but as it was, we pushed the pause button on reality and believed what we heard. Yes, we believe that there would be no snow, that there could be no snow. Why? Because the weathermen in South Bend said so! That's why. And you know what, they were wrong! IT SNOWED! On the unexpected snow, Fr. Ralph stated, "One again, we are painfully reminded of the price for living in this little slice of heaven called Northwest Indiana. Thankfully, I don't have to shovel."
