Off to Romania:

Yes, I know, long time between posts and all that. My mother was in town last weekend and Friday I was busy with some other people and it's really hard to find time during the week between having to finish my taxes and do some prep for the trip and, you know, go to work.

Anyways, I'm off to Romania tonight. I'll be back Saturday the 16th. I will have email access at least some of the time, but I'm not sure where we are going or how good the internet access there will be, so I may not be so contactable.

Nothing much to say about the Pope except that, whatever you feel about his politics, he was a deeply moral man. And I'm not too excited about anyone who seems to be on the short list to be the next one.
