Pope Benedict XVI

So the Pope is resigning. A surprise, but not a shock. You just have to look at his past comments, he has always mentioned that the Pope should resign if he cannot continue to do the job 100%. As I've mentioned, health care is so amazing now, that he could last a long time, ie another John Paul II at the end. A conclave should be starting in early March and by Easter there should be a new Pope. The mass media will get carried away with papabile, and if the past is any indication the next Pope most likely won't come from that last. I'd pick Cardinal Burke or Ranjith if I had a vote :P

Getting older

You always hear it, ways to tell that you are getting older. Some are obvious like, going to bed earlier or not enjoying going out clubbing/drinking/partying. Some are scary like, making comments your parents would make, getting annoyed at those kids who have everything. I discovered a new one the other day. Getting excited over finding good deals on kid's clothing. I was at Kohl's looking for some clothes for our  son and I hit the motherload. T-shirts for $1,long sleeve shirts for $3. I got a couple hoodies for $7 a piece. What was truly frightening was how excited I got. I was beyond thrilled when the receipt said I saved over $350. I ended up with around 25 pieces of clothing and the total just barely broke $80 with tax.
