STILL WAITING FOR SPRING TO ARRIVE
24/03/13 06:54
It's cold but not a cloud in the sky today. Conor, Valerie and I are ready for spring to get here so we can start boating and catching lobsters. Now that Conor is old enough to move around, we will have to find a way to tether him to the boat safely.

THE CHURCH HAS A NEW POOP
Today, I told my 17-month old son the Catholic Church got a new Pope and we were going to go upstairs and see him on TV. He looked at me and said, "new Poop?"
As I thought about his miscalculated mimicry, I understood how insightful his comment was. For 600 years, there hasn't been a pope who has stepped down from his duty as Pope. And with Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI stepping down but living only kilometers from the new Pope, who knows what kind of affect that may have on the new Pope or even the Church itself? I hope that Pope Francis from Argentina is able to lead the Church in the humble way from which he has lived his life to this point. No doubt it's exciting to watch a new Pope ascend the balcony after the white smoke billows from the Sistine Chapel. Let's just hope he's not stepping into 'new poop'.

I'd like to meet this kid's parents. This is an amazing boy who is going to go places if he believes half of what he's saying.
