Your Sunday picture...

The lights are on, really!

... from Notre Dame. With warmer temperatures, the snow has disappeared, but the flog has rolled in. Recently a think fog has enveloped campus, shrouding everything. Not only does it make every drearier but also a bit eerier. Here's a view of Mary and the Dome... you can see it thanks to the iPhone's camera but in person, it looks dark and unlit. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Californians in Winter.

Last, but not least in our series of Californians in winter is Evan de la Rosa. A freshman from the San Diego area, Evan is enjoying snow for the first time here at ND. Interestingly, when the snow began to fall, this freshmen did not rush outside. On experiencing snow, Evan said, "Why? I can experience it from the comfort of my room." Smart kid...smart kid indeed.

On Location: Spring Break

Spring Break: simple as closing my eyes

Yes, there is one set of foot prints on this Floridian beach. And unlike the prayer, the one set of foot prints does not denote the moment "where I carried you" rather it says to you and everyone, "There's one set because you weren't here with me!" Enjoy your break wherever you may be! 

We all need...

Getting that much deserved slice of the pie...

... a break, Spring Break to be exact. Yes, time to take a break from the books, classes and lectures, routines and schedules... and well, do whatever is needed in order to come back refreshed and ready for the final push to the end of Spring Semester. What are the Stedsmen doing? Going here and there and everywhere. Maybe we'll hear all about their breaks when we return. On his plans for Spring Break, Fr. Ralph said, "I love you all, but I hope I don't see you... Spring Break well, and don't rush back. Really." 

Everyone's favorite podcast, In the Red Room, is on Spring Break hiatus but will return next week. The Gentlemen's Monthly is also on hiatus, posting every other day.

Better seen through a picture than in-person

... from Notre Dame. Here's a winter view of Sorin, Mary and the Dome, and the Basilica. Dreary, yes, but it's getting warmer. Spring is not only breaking but also in the air! Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Saturday Squirrel.

He's going in...

During a recent discussion with Fr. Terry Ehrman, C.S.C., naturalist and theologian, Ehrman stated that during the winter, squirrels do not live in their dreys (leaf homes in trees) but rather in holes of trees. Recently, the posterior of a furry friend, who was climbing into a hole, was spotted hanging out of a tree right out in front of the Main Building. Squeezing into a hole is easy, right? Not so easy! After a minute or two, this squirrel finally got himself inside his lodge. On being spotted squeezing in, this squirrel non-verbaled, "It's a tight fit for sure!"

Early morning...

Studying in progress

... studying. The Gregorian Lounge has seen many things, but this week, Mid-terms Week, it has seen its fair share of studying. When getting that first cup of morning coffee, Fr. Ralph was surprised to see freshmen, Griffin, Evan, Brendan, and Owen,  up and about studying in the lounge. Normally empty at the crack of dawn, four freshmen were diligently studying away for an upcoming exam later in the morning. On being spotted studying early in the morning, the freshmen said, well, nothing... after all they were studying. Good luck!
