I think we need to gird ourselves for this; we will have to fight, with or without Pope Frank.

She is pro-life, yes. Never once strayed and condemns adultery. She said the Republicans were harassing Bubba for an indiscretion that has nothing to do with his presidency. RME When I tell her things, she does not believe them, because she never heard them on the alphabet networks. She believes it’s OK to vote dem, because abortion is the settled law of the land and neither party will ever change it. I have to admit she is right on that last point. The old school media have her right where they want her. Her husband was a diehard Republican to the end. Even sat on the city council for years as a Republican.

Got to go, they shut off my water for the next few hours so I am going out for a salad for lunch.

I have to say, the old broad looks pretty good for 71, even if she feels like bugs are crawling on her skin 24-7.

Today?

Any way is “good enough” on the via-de-la-rosa
But the road to hell is always paved with good intentions. And flowers.
And is always downhill.

It’s the road to heaven is uphill. Rocky. And filled with toll booths.

This old guy looks really good at 74. His new album, Postcards from Paradise, is excellent. The title song has lyrics that include titles from dozens of Beatles songs. Quite clever.

I did not, as some before me have, experience the Jesus Syndrome while walking the Via Dolorosa.

Was there in 2012, as it happens, when Harold Camping predicted the end of the world. Thought I’d have front row seats for the Apocalypse standing atop the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City :-)

At the firm from which I recently retired after nearly 30 years, they had (have?) a wonderful Receptionist named Dolores — a warm, elderly Christian lady who was a pleasure to work with & talk to.

As far as I knew, no one whether employee or client had anything but positive experiences dealing “through her” ...
