I caught a few words like "Francisco" and was very confused, so had to go elsewhere to get the name.<br /><br />I want a "like" button for Sally's comment about the birds.Maclinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14431327970201767428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-8675690129825309952013-03-14T04:44:26.528-05:002013-03-14T04:44:26.528-05:00Ha.

I'm sure that a lot of work didn't get done all over the world yesterday. I keep asking myself why I didn't watch like this when Benedict was elected. Then I remember that that was probably when I used to knit while I waited for pages to load--and no TV. But I kept thinking that I had to watch everything because this may be the last time it happens in my life, but now I think maybe not. <br /><br />AMDGJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069018443486415173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-4928297324075175962013-03-13T22:02:39.454-05:002013-03-13T22:02:39.454-05:00I snuck over to Allie's desk and we attempted ...I snuck over to Allie's desk and we attempted to work while CNN streamed.

I was still thinking, "What? Who? Cardinal Who?" But he seemed to radiate such humility and good humor, I warmed to him at once as a pastor. And what I've read about him thus far is interesting and impressive. Ron said he had dressed down the Argentine Prime MInister over gay adoptions, for example -- funny that Benedict came in with the "Rottweiler" reputation, but Francis may prove a bulldog. <br /><br />And after watching the seagulls on the conclave chimney all day, I love that he's Francis. The birds were waiting for a sermon!
