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.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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!

I'm a little disappointed by that.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I log in to tell everybody about my overnight adventures, and get immediately upstaged by a new Pope.
(Housemate -- the spouse of the one who was on TV -- had a kidney-stone attack a bit after midnight. We just got home from Kaiser about an hour ago. Everybody's fine, but we didn't get much sleep.)
Here's hoping the new Pope isn't a dickhead.
