Beauty and the Beast

The West Deptford High School put on this years spring concert: Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Both Kelsie and Stephanie made the cuts and had parts as "town people" and "flatware". Both roles were ensemble. They put in a lot of long hours and it was worth it. Kathleen and I saw all 4 shows this past weekend. Grand Dad and Grand Mom, Uncle Tim, Aunt Stacey and the girls, Aunt Anne and Lexie, Uncle Carl, Uncle Chris and Aunt Susan all made it to show. It was a big success. Congratulations to cast and crew for a wonderful performance.

Kelsie and Stephanie at Pops and Pasta Night for WDHS

We had a nice time at Pops and Pasta night at the middle school. Kathleen worked the entire night in the back serving food with Karen. Anthony and I sat with Mr. Fanelli and enjoyed the show. Some of the performances included: The Dance Team, Various Vocal Ensembles, Men's Quartet, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Brass and Percussion Ensembles, Jazz Lab (which I thought was the best). We enjoyed all the performances.

Off to Florida for a couple of days (for work)

I am off the Fort Lauderdale Florida for a couple of days for work. It comes in the mist of this seasons largest snow storm thus far. I was able to help out with the shovel duties this time. I will be back home late Wednesday night. Hopefully, most of the snow will be gone on my return, but I'm not counting on it.

Grandfather and Grandmother Ware and Family

I would guess this picture was taken around the late 1960's. I don't know where the picture was taken. Christopher was not yet born at the time of the photo. It looks like we were at a restaurant.

Firefox with "NoScript" is my choice

If you tired of constantly having to run Spyware and Anti-Virus cleaning tools on your computer, let me give you a suggestion for safe web browsing: Use Mozilla Firefox with the NoScript plugin. NoScript prevents website scripts from automatically running when you surf. If you know you are on a "safe" website, you can tell NoScript to allow scripts from that particular site and it will remember it! I've been running this way for quite a while and I am happy to say that the "bad guys" have been locked out. Give it a try!

Facebook Revolution

It feels like the Facebook Revolution is in full production in our household. Kathleen is loving it and reconnecting with old friends. I find myself competing with her to see who can get the most friends. She's going to pass me one of these days, there is no stopping it. In any case, it seems more and more of our friends and family are joining the network. It's really an amazing thing.

Let it snow

Well there be enough snow to build a snowman? I don't know. I know my wife and daughter are hoping so because that also means that there will probably be no school tomorrow. It looks like this will be our first real snow storm of the season. Wow, we might get 3" worth. I like the snow because it means that I can turn on my 4 wheel drive and act like a real trucker.

Happenings this week

- Had to go to North Jersey twice this week

Disney's Mission Space Photo - From 2007

Christmas Holiday

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday filled with many Casazza siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, some 4 legged animals and of course Mom and Dad. We had everyone in attendance! Christmas dinner at Mom and Dad's was filled with plenty of Turkey, Ham, Mash Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole and Cranberry Sauce! The dessert came complete with Linda's Pies! Yum Yum Good :). The next day was Disney On Ice (Worlds of Fantasy). We went to Brunics for dinner first and I think everyone liked it. We took the family picture there. The Disney show was super. We saw Mickey and Minni, Cars, Ariel, Lion King and then Tinker Bell. It was a super holiday and I loved spending it with our family. One last thing; We finally found out who really took Paul's helicopter!

Casazza Family Pictures (Click on me!)

Aunt Lucy & Uncle Georgie Visit

Went up to see Aunt Lucy and Uncle Georgie again (was up their 3 weeks ago). Carolyn and Ricks's daughter, Judith, was heading back to Italy (US Navy Post) for another year. We got to see Sara (Judith's younger sister) this time. We had good conversation and good food. Plenty of cheese ravioli's for ME! In photo above is Uncle Georgie and Kathleen. We also spent some time looking at old photos and reminiscing.

Granddad is at it again!

Took the family and Ali down to Grandmom & Granddad's house yesterday. We got all the christmas decor up including the BIG Christmas tree (not that fiber glass thing). Ali and Kelsie did an excellent job setting it up and decorating it. We also put up the Nativity set from Linda & Don last year on top of the TV. Anthony did a nice with the scene effects. Outside flood lights are up along with front door wreath and side door candle. Windows candle light timers have all be reset. The boys were so stoked for Grandmom's cooking. She (and Kathleen) made Lasagna and Meatballs! We had a terrific time with Grandmom and Granddad. Granddad even got kisses from 2 of his favorite fans!

Lend a helping hand

Last week I decided to lend a helping hand by giving away free computer services to the St. Matthew's parish community. Fr. Walt was kind enough to add a write-up in the parish bulletin telling people about the free service and how to contact me. I've received a number of emails and calls and have started to help out the community. It's nice be able to give back and it's very rewarding to see people's expression when I return their computer from the dead.

Potato Boats...Yum Yum

Growing up, I remember many different meals my mom made us (7 children) at our dinner table. There were the Cheese Steaks Sandwiches, Lasagna, Ravioli, Zucchini Pies, Open Face BLT's and Potato Boats! What are Potato Boats? Only the best meal in the entire world!! My mom would skin the potatoes, cut them in half and carve out the middle. Then she would put in the special spinach filling and cook them in the oven. They were terrific and I can never get enough of them, yum, yum!

This time of year

This time of year can be so very busy for many of us with Christmas and New Years right around the corner. We find ourselves scheduled out to the max with all different kinds of tasks and duties. We waste little time getting hither and yon, honking and yelling at the world to "get out of my way!" and "what the heck is this guy doing driving 55mph?". We simply get so caught up and driven to get so much done, that we lose 5 years of our life due to the stress that comes with it. Why do we do this to ourselves? I don't know why but I do know one thing; I am not following along!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

We had a wonderful time at Tim and Stacey's home for Thanksgiving. The turkey turned out perfect and so did his twice baked mash potatoes! No food disasters at all. It was a very good day capped off with an Eagles win over the Cardinals!

Turkey Day preparations are under way!

Tomorrow the family his heading to Uncle Tim and Aunt Stacey's home for Thanksgiving. Uncle Tim has never cooked a turkey before so this should be very interesting. Kathleen and I are preparing several dishes. I am personally responsible for the Pecan Pie. My sister Linda sent me her recipe so I am hoping everything turns out OK. In any case, I hope everyone has a super day filled with plenty of food and good football.

Comcast Building in downtown Philadelphia

The first snow of the 2008

Taken early this morning before I started on my way into work. We only got about a half an inch. The surrounding tri-state area got between 2" to a coding. It's been a cold November thus far. I believe it is one of the coldest on record. Anyway, I'll have to wait until the next snow before I can think about building a snowman.

Ben Stein thoughts...Do you agree?

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house inMalibu . If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from thatAmerica is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they
will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

Disney On Ice Show 1993

Granddad and Grandmom Casazza have been treating their grandchildren to Disney On Ice shows for over 15 years! In this photo, Anthony, Jake , Peter and Uncle Peter pose for a quick picture. The Christmas treat always included dinner, prior to the show, dessert after the show as well as a show catalog and toy. The grandchildren will always remember this special time during their lives.

A Fun Night of Bowling

Spent a couple of hours with 6 teenagers and 2 other adults at the bowling lanes last night. Money raised went to kids college scholarship funds, We enjoyed good food and good conversation as well as some funny bowling styles (including mine).

Raking Leaves

It use to be that when I raked leaves, I put them in BIG piles and then, out of no where, I'd hear the sound of one or more children crashing and vaporizing my piles. "Hey Dad, can you build it up again?" they would asked. Who was I to let them down. Sometimes, I would have to show them how to crash causing the biggest spread of leaves ever! What fun it was.

Now days raking the leaves means getting them out to the curb, just in time for leaf pickup and taking a couple of days easy to rehab. My guess is that someday, I will have grandchildren who will need to be shown the art of crashing and vaporizing the leaf piles.

Casazza Family Hams

This is my wonderful family down in Maryland for Tommy and Anna's wedding. What a bunch of Hams we are!

Anna and Tommy's Wedding - 11/1/2008

It turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day for a wedding. Anna & Tommy got married at Episcopal Christ Church in West River, MD. We had almost everyone there; Pat, Erin and Megan were missed. Katie and Abbie looked beautiful. It was also nice to catch up with Aunt Lucy and Uncle Georgie. It was a day to remember.

To scan or not to scan...that is the question

I've been very busy lately trying to get all the family (both Casazza and Ware) pictures on the website These pictures are from a scanning project that I started by in 2003. My dad had the idea to collect all the photo's from Uncle Tony and Cousin Pete and get them scan and put on CD's. I was happy to assist. I was actually able to create CD and thumbnail albums for all 3 families. During this project it also made sense to collect my mother's pictures from her side but I never really got a chance to complete the scanning of these photo's. So that's what I am doing now. In the end, everyone in the family will have a place to go to look up and download old family pictures. My Grandmother's photo albums are very interesting because she wrote many comments next to many of the pictures.

Homecoming Dance

Kelsie had her first Homecoming dance at the high school last night. She looked so beautiful. It's hard to believe that my little girl has grown up. We took pictures over at the Capri's house with Ali and Stephanie. Kathleen and Patty (the PTO) worked the event. I was able to stop by and see everyone. It was a very nice affair.

Phillies take game 1 of NLCS

Philadelphia, which led the National League with 214 home runs in 2008, banged its way to victory against one of baseball's stingiest pitchers. Lowe had surrendered just 14 home runs in 211 regular-season innings, but three in the postseason.

Before the first of the two home runs Lowe surrendered, there was Shane Victorino grounding weakly to Rafael Furcal and speeding down the line. The shortstop fielded the chopper, but threw high to first baseman James Loney for an error.

That ball hit by Victorino, like many others thrown by Lowe through the first five innings, had induced ground ball after ground ball. Fourteen of the 15 outs Lowe recorded came on the ground, giving the night the feel of something that might not work out for Philadelphia.

Furcal's error sparked the Phillies.

"I saw Loney reaching up, and said to myself, 'What's happening here?'" Victorino said. "I wanted to make sure I could get to second."

One pitch later, Victorino was waiting for Chase Utley at home plate. One of Utley's patented drives floated out to right, tying the score at 2.

"I was trying to get him over, no matter what, I was getting him over to third base," Utley said. "[I] squared a sinker up and it went over the fence. For Derek Lowe it was up, but it wasn't that bad of a pitch."

With barely enough time to settle, Pat Burrell sent the crowd into a frenzy with a rainbow into the left-field seats. Manny Ramirez peeked over his shoulder to watch, but there was no doubt it was gone.

Cue the disgusted look, the one a pitcher makes when fly ball finds the seats.

"He basically made two mistakes," Victorino said. "Things happen quick in this game. Momentum can shift on a simple mistake, a big home run, or big pitch."

Memory Moment

This is my dad (right) and my Uncle Tony (his brother) probably around the mid to late 1930's. My guess is that they are in Scarsdale NY at Uncle Caesar's home. My father and his family would make this trek every Easter. Uncle Caesar is my father's mother brother who also happen to live in the same building at 645 40th St, Brooklyn, NY. This picture was scanned from my Cousin Pete's photos back in 2003. Many more of these photos can be viewed on my family's photo website at http://cazphotos.photo-frame.com. Enjoy!

USA Today Article on Bailout Passage

WASHINGTON (AP) — After two weeks of anguishing debate, Congress has passed and President Bush signed a massive plan to save the financial industry and the economy at large from an unthinkable free fall. Now, the world holds its breath, seeing if it will work.

Passage of the $700 billion financial rescue package came after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson at a meeting last month shocked congressional leaders into action by warning of pending economic collapse without immediate congressional intervention.

Paulson said after the climactic House vote Friday that he already had staff working out details and was lining up advisers from outside the government to get the money flowing.

The immediate response to the 263-171 vote was not promising. Wall Street, which plunged a record 778 points after the House initially rejected the bill last Monday, fell 157 points on Friday as more economic bad news, such as a jump in job losses, outweighed news that Congress was finally coming to the rescue.

Still, Bush and Congress made clear that the legislation was urgent and vital. "We have acted boldly to help prevent the crisis on Wall Street from becoming a crisis in communities across our country," Bush said after the House vote. He acknowledged that "our economy continues to face serious challenges."

"We know that if we do nothing this crisis is likely to worsen and put us in a slump the likes of which most of us have never seen," said House Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, who worked with House and Senate Republican and Democratic leaders in a rare bipartisan response to what both parties saw as a dire threat to the nation's economic well-being.

"We are addressing the real pain felt by Mr. and Mrs. Jones on Main Street," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said. "They are why we must pass this legislation today."

The legislation gives the government broad authority to buy up toxic mortgage-related investments and other distressed assets from shaky financial institutions. The hope is that it will restore confidence in markets and thaw a near-freeze in credit availability that has begun to affect the ability of community banks to loan, businesses to obtain money for payrolls and investments and individuals from getting credit to buy a home or a car.

The measure, in another effort to help smaller banks with serious liquidity problems, also raised the ceiling on federally insured deposits from $100,000 to $250,000. It increases federal oversight over Wall Street transactions and assures that CEOs whose companies benefit from the bailout don't leave with huge golden parachute payoffs.

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., the Financial Services Committee chairman and a key negotiator over the past weeks, said the measure was just the beginning of a much larger task Congress will tackle next year: overhauling housing policy and financial regulation in a legislative effort comparable to the New Deal.

The political story preceding the House vote Friday was nearly as dramatic as the financial and economic upheavals going on outside Washington.

Last Monday, despite urgent pleas from Bush and his senior financial advisers and the support of congressional leaders, the House voted 228-205 to reject the rescue plan. Stock markets around the world plunged, then recovered to some extent, as economists warned that not since the Great Depression had the United States faced such a crisis.

But the 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans who voted against the bill were responding to a deluge of calls and messages from their constituents demanding that they defeat what many saw as a $700 billion giveaway to Wall Street when average Americans were getting no help.

On Wednesday, the Senate, shortly before it recessed for the election, stepped in, voting 74-25 for a package that linked the rescue bill to a giant bill extending popular tax breaks such as the research-and-development tax credit, providing incentives for renewable energy resources and giving tax relief to disaster victims. That bill, costing an additional $110 billion, included a measure to give benefits parity to people with mental health problems. The Senate also added the boost in the ceiling for bank deposits.

Those additions were enough to sway some House members who voted "no" the first time around. Others were swamped by calls from business and political leaders warning of the possible consequences of inaction.

"I've never talked to as many bank presidents in my life," said Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Mich., who said he had also been lobbied by General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner and other auto executives.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent out a letter warning that, absent a clear resolution to the financial crisis, California and other states "may be unable to obtain the necessary level of financing to maintain government operations and may be forced to turn to the federal Treasury for short-term financing."

The two presidential candidates also weighed in. Democrat Barack Obama spoke to many in the Congressional Black Caucus and helped persuade 13 to switch their votes. Nine freshmen Democrats also switched to "yes" votes after a conference call with Obama in which he promised an economic stimulus bill would be a top priority if he is elected.

Republican John McCain also lobbied for the measure, according to aides who declined to release a list of lawmakers he called.

"It's disgusting that we would ever be brought to this floor to cast this vote," said Rep. Zach Wamp of Tennessee, a Republican who changed to a "yes" vote. But "Congress has to act. We are out of options. Hold your hand over your heart and vote 'yes."'

Not all were convinced. "The Treasury plan throws an ungodly amount at Wall Street," said Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio. "This is just an end run around, right before an election. Pray for our republic."

In the end, 33 Democrats and 25 Republicans switched from opposition to support. In all, 91 Republicans joined 172 Democrats to support the measure while 108 Republicans and 63 Democrats voted 'no."

BE A MAN?

The guy on the left is Scott O'Shea and that's me on the right at the University of Arkansas in September 2006. Rumor has it that this guy "Found a Girl". Now I don't actually have any proof of this. I am taking Scott's word on this. Rumor also has it that he and this girl are expecting a baby in about 2 months. Hmmmmm....I thought I said "FIND A GIRL, GET MARRIED, HAVE CHILDREN, BE A MAN". Now Scott has told me that he plans on one day marrying this fine Irish woman. Maybe he can SQUEEZE this in between now and when the baby gets here...I think not. But I believe in my dear friend and have confidence that one day he will "BE A MAN"!

Memory Moment - 1934-35

This picture, taken in Millville, NJ around 1934-35, is of my Grandfather and Grandmother Ware along with my mother Suzanne. My Grandfather was a doctor and worked down in the south Jersey area for many years. He and my grandmother had a shore house down in Ocean City, NJ which I and my 2 triplet brothers would visit every summer for a couple weeks at a time. I remember one summer we tracked black tar into the house which left its mark everywhere. The tar got on our feet from walking on the jetties (Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetty). I thought my grandfather was going to kill us BUT thanks to my grandmother, we were spared.

DOW down more than 700 ticks!

I think this image says it all. Congress misses it's mark to pass the EMERGENCY ECONOMIC STABILIZATION BILL put forth by the administration. House republicans react after Nancy Pelosi's ill timed speech. Can't we all just get along and cut the crap?
