My cardinal is at home. I think his name is Attilio ???, Italy, born March 18, 1937. He’s head of all of the Vatican money.
My husband got Karl Lehmann, from Germany, born 1936-5-16.
He’s been a Cardinal since 2001-2-21 and his function is: Bishop of Mainz, Germany

What a cluster****-a day of mass confusion-if I were the fragile sort of female, I’d probably get the vapors and go lie down for a couple of days...
The driveby media will never
Heap Obama with scorn and such-
For them to dish out opprobrium
Would be asking way too much
They’re so deep into the tank
They’re past the 4 ft. marks-
So far into thye deep end that
They should look out for sharks
They’ve sunk their credibility-
It rotted and had such a smell
That now it has the same odor
As some kind of smoke from hell
But since I’m not the fragile sort, I’m cranking up the warrior song, AC/DC and some other heavy stuff real loud and loosing myself in loud and angry for stress relief...
My 99 yo mom (deaf) and 95 yo aunt (blind) can both dance better than that. And do. Until they fall over.
That is so cool-but she is a bit shy with the booty shake-one is never, ever too old to go into a dance for no reason at all...
My favorite aunt-who will not abide her age being mentioned-still owns and operates her small dance studio, where I learned to love to dance-some people with low hispanic tolerance say we all know how to dance-
At a recent recital where she did a flamenco number and other stuff, a family member asked her when she intended to slow down. She shouted-stomping her dancing shoe for emphasis-”when they hammer the last f’ing nail into my coffin”.
There is nearly always music playing here, and I shake it even while cooking-I don’t have a partner any more, but dance is still great exercise and stress relief-keeps the weight at a healthy level, body more supple, joint aches at bay...
It is sprinkling steadily and thunderstorms are predicted for later on-all the better to grow my salad greens-we need that rain...
LOL I said that would be me in a few years on FB and my neighbor wanted a heads up so she could make a video of me.
I was concerned that she would throw her back out....but, I was chair dancing right along with her.
If she dances all the time, her back is probably not in danger-dancing is good. I have no doubt as soon as your joint problem is better, you will be shaking it up.
From the looks of her, she can’t be dancing much. She must be a lot of fun, though.
It is 56, breezy and clear-everything smells of soil, leaves, and growing things after last night’s rain. Husky girl was so happy she chased a squirrel up a tree, and sat under it on a mission to wait the thing out till I called her back inside.
I’m going back to the woods-I can hear music blasting from my neighbor’s workshop over the hill.
I’m going to sneak up on him-I do that every couple of weekends, and he freaks out every time-I’ll take their Mastiff for a nice hike in the woods and a bite of my lunch-as long as I have that hound of the Baskervilles with me, I don’t hesitate to explore some mysterious, deserted places I’ve heard stories about. ...
sounds like a pleasant Sunday. I have a meeting in a few minutes. I did get outside for a bit. nice day here, too.
I see Gabby Giffords’ husband bought an assault weapon. Can’t say that I blame him, but he seems to be caught red handed and stammering. Fool.
I was not aware of that-but it makes him just another hypocrite...
A real man would make no excuses. He would just declare he wants to protect his wife. What a wussy astronaut girlie man.
