Quiet round these here parts….
I am irked I woke up for a 730am call and logged in, only to find out it was canceled. Ah well. Guess it got me up and showered.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I woke up to what I thought was my alarm, but turned out to be a dream of my alarm going off. Very confusing for a minute, and then just irritating.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I’m on day 3 of 3 weeks without my boss (surgery and recovery). So busier than normal.
Also the head boss of everyone was on site today so people were high strung.

Grey chilly morning in SF, though the fog will probably burn off before noon.
I have to get Matilda up for her Pilates consultation/assessment. Basically just seeing if she's fit to do Pilates and where her strength/flexibility is to put her at the proper level.

White smoke! There's a new pope! They haven't announced who yet, though.
I'm like 99% sure it isn't Trump.

That's quick! Where's the intrigue and the infighting?!

Is it our Tom Scola?
Sun has already broken through in SF. Back off fog!

The NBC commentators are saying it's the first American — Robert Francis Prevost. (That's not his papal name.) Wow!

Okay, he's Pope Leo XIV. He apparently was favored by Pope Francis as a successor, so hopefully he'll continue Francis's more progressive (for the Catholic Church) attitude.

He's 69 years old and a Chicagoan who also has Peruvian citizenship.
A USAmerican pope will not get me back to the church, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No Pizzaballa for you!
