It took me a long time to figure it out, but that's par for the course on the weekends. I know my popes, and BENEDICTXVI is the one that I've seen live, at the Vatican, speaking to the crowd that he held in his capable hands. Sue and I really enjoyed that spectacle, even though we're both atheists. I didn't love the COLA/COKE cross; I thought it a bit weak, but overall, this was a fun Friday.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-84908279832481451032016-02-20T19:25:38.585-05:002016-02-20T19:25:38.585-05:00Frannie dropped Pope Francis in there, too.

Then I went back and filled the other two in fairly quickly. I had "popEfranscis" at 54A, which fit all too well. I took it out, but couldn't recall Benedict's number, so I tried BENEDICTXII... I liked the Shakespeare crosses.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
