The one part I needed him to do. I did the doors and ceiling prior to Christmas in the back entrance area. Now I have to do the walls and window frames, window box and create some new drapes. But now I can move forward.
Maybe I'll get something done if we have a blizzard on Tuesday.

I've done SanDiego with Disneyland after we checked out did SeaWorld and the SanDiego Zoo. Love that zoo.

Yeah, that would be my choice. LA driving is something of an attraction unto its own.

But I am not Catholic so I don't know. I haven't really heard much from my Catholic friends.
Giggle. I have not heard that particular spin before.

Careful we will make you Catholic if you keep being educated like this....
Now this is a tad messed up because the rules are for when the Pope dies and are being adjusted for his resignation.
How it is supposed to be is 120 cardinals vote. They are locked into the Sistine Chapel. They have to have a 67% majority, the cardinals whittle it down with 4 votes per day by secret ballot. if nobody reaches a 67% after for days the candidate with the majority votes wills the Vatican. If it takes more than one day they haul them over to St. Martha's but they are sequestered and can't talk to each other or the outside world. Each vote the ballots are burned. A no vote water puts out the fire out. If the ballots result in a Pope being elected the ballots are burned but allowed to continue to be burned and white smoke comes out of the Sistine Chapel. Actually a pretty cool tradition. Tons of faithful stand outside waiting for the smoke, it officially ends the mourning of the passed Pope and the birth of a New Pope. So this resignation kinda messes with tradition which we Catholics are big on.
Now when a Pope dies they have 7 days of mourning and then within 15 to no more than 20 days the college of Cardinals meet to elect the new Pope.
There isn't a death so I am guessing they are going to gather pretty quickly after his last day.

A lot of the Publix's are going out of business in Florida. One of the closest ones to Disney has.
