Doing extra chores is one way I tell my wife I love her. Sometimes, after she goes to bed, I'll clean the kitchen without telling her so that when she wakes up, she's pleasantly surprised.
I'm seeing a lot of references on the net to the Malachian Prophesies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes which number all the popes -it says the next one will be the last and will see the destruction of Rome. Some are predicting the next pope could be African (Ghanian, to be exact), American, or Canadian. Watch out if they elect an Italian, as Benedict seems to prefer.
I'm beginning to feel really old, as there is so much mention of John Paul II and how old and decrepit he was -because I remember when he was selected (John Paul I, too, I was in college) and the headlines were all about how young and vigorous John Paul II was.
