So you secretly want to go to World Youth Day? I think the next one is slated for Australia. Now THAT would be a neat place to visit. Even Patrick would like it. Electric current there runs counter-clockwise. No toaster threat!

I don't play golf, either, but I like watching it and reading about it. Vijay Singh is my favorite PGA player. One reason my parents moved to Florida from the DC area was so Dad could play golf all winter. After he retired from defense consulting, he was driving Mom bonkers hanging around the house during tax season!

I'd love to go to World Youth Day! Every two years, right? Josie will be 16, and Baby Whosis will be 1-1/2 ... probably not a good time for me to travel. Our whole youth group from Norman went to the one in Rome; about 40 of them, plus chaperones. The parish was right next to University of Oklahoma stadium, and the youth group got the proceeds from renting the parking lot for the Rolling Stones concert. They were getting over $100 a space by the time the lot was full!

I was thinking today that we could name the new baby Frank if it's a boy. My father had an uncle and a cousin named Frank. Uncle Frank was W. Franklin (the W didn't stand for anything :-) and Cousin Frank was Franklin W. Der Prinz might go for either Francis or Franklin for a first name. It would fit with our "boring names" theme: Bill, Tom, Pat, James, and Frank.
