Dear fellow parishoners,

No, I didn't bike to church in the sleet and freezing rain today, I walked. And why are y'all acting so appalled? What would be crazy in these conditions would be to drive, when it's less than 25 minutes on foot. It's not that cold, and I have excellent boots.

And how about some of you younger folks coming outside to help with clearing the sidewalks? Didn't you see a middle-aged woman in a skirt out there wielding a shovel, along with the paid security guy? We had a 3rd shovel and a heck of a lot of sidewalk covered with ice to deal with.
