I finally figured it out! A little late for Dyngus Day, but thanks to Sister Josanne Buszek of St. Stan's Church on the east side of Buffalo, she helped us out about some of the tales and traditions of pussy willows and squirt guns on Dyngus Day...

Spoiler alert: the next batch will be out by Holy Thursday, so you'll get it in time for Easter -- but be forewarned -- future batches are dependent on how long it takes their locally-sourced bees to make more honey.

April has flown by, and as we enter the last week it is a good time to look back on what this past week brought us.  'Because I Said So' with Val Townsend and Tony P had a busy week with Dyngus Day, sensory deprivation, local sports craziness, and all around comedy...
