To everyone who helped thank you so much it is a beauty!
could not have done it without you!

just saw this announcement on KTVU’s website

KTVU Fox 2 will be airing the San Francisco Giants-Los Angeles Dodgers game Thursday night so your favorite Fox primetime shows — The O.C. and Tru Calling — will be shown instead on Action 36 Cable 6

but my TIVO didn’t make the switch hope yours did FYI!
I wonder if this is the M.O. for all fox shows when Giants games are on?

so I gots to see JPII in 99 he was already illing but he said mass. not all of it mind you but the good stuff kinda like the older priest in your parish who lets the new guy take care of all the standard fare but gets up for the Eucharistic prayer and wrecks shop. Same deal. but we had a particularly startling evening on friday night; just got into rome from florence and our hotel told us they we’re booked despite our reservation. we could however take a “nicer” apartment across the street. it was pouring down rain and we had zero alternatives so . . . if you know Rome you know how this ends; water doesn’t work door doesn’t lock it’s above a bar and no heat. needless to say saturday morning we were ready fo a real hotel and set off for St. Pietro’s square. we found a fabulous hotel that was only slightly more expensive than our shanti the night before, a block from the square. we woke sunday morning well rested and secure and not that broke financially (at the time the lira was doing bad against the dollar), we heard the commotion and realized mass was starting! We ran down the block with a splash of water on the face into the throng of thousands only to be slowed by these gentleman who despite their ancient costumes were carrying sub machine guns and metal detectors. I wouldn’t consider their countenance as stern, but rather somber and aware. My secular (at times) mind wanted to point out the contrast between Jesus and sub machine guns; but the standing in the seat of the Holy Roman Catholic Church has a quieting effect, even for the hyper critical Armijo abroad. The bulk of the mass was said by a non-descript priest whom i could barely hear, but the pope got on to do the big stuff and the term rapt never seemed more appropo. I understand this is a had to be there story but se la vie. afterwards Ellen and I purchased an Il Papa flag for about 50 cents american. the guy originally wanted like 4000 lira (around $2 at the time but i pointed out the flag seller 10 feet down and politely offered 1000 lira, which he accepted gladly. Now i hear you (whoever you are) saying don’t you feel bad haggling in Vatican City? To you i say No! for I had passed back into Rome like a hundred yards back and when in Rome do like the Romans! Que No?
