It takes a little time to build up a “must-watch” television listing strong enough to make me say, “I’m sorry, we have plans for that evening.”
Smile, enigmatically.
When my girls were very young, they were allowed to watch television or go to movies only after we had vetted the material and deemed it acceptable for our little dears’ developing taste. They were good about it. “Because I say so” was a reason they didn’t often challenge.

Let’s admit it: we are worriers.
Sometimes our worries are ridiculous. For several years, a woman was having trouble getting to sleep at night because she just knew someone was going to break into her house and steal her fine china. She was scared to death. One evening, her husband did hear a noise, went downstairs and encountered a real burglar.
He said, “Good evening. I’m so pleased to meet you. Will you please come upstairs and meet my wife? She’s been wanting to meet you for years.”

The Episcopal Church of the Nativity will mark “Souper Bowl Sunday” at its 10 a.m. service on Feb. 2 with the in-gathering of canned goods for needy individuals and families. Nativity holds the activity every year on the same day as the annual Super Bowl game.
“While many of us once again will enjoy seeing the action on TV on a cold Sunday afternoon and evening, we also don’t want to forget the many who are hungry, homeless and cold,” said the Rev. Rita Renault, rector. “Besides, setting aside this food Sunday morning will leave plenty of time to see the festivities later in the day.”
