I think Sissie is as excited about the Pope's visit to the U.S. as I am, which is MUCHO MUCHO MUCHO. She's got an excellent blog post up, lots of links, great quotes ("If you want to avoid turbulence, you have to stay at home"), and another photo of Papa Ratzi wearing his Saturno hat.
The beloved Pope Benedict will be celebrating Mass at Yankee Stadium in only two weeks from tomorrow!! I got my ticket! His birthday, by the way, is April 16 (he'll be 81).
Thanks for the kind words and linky love. 'Am looking forward to your dispatches from the front April 20. :-)

We did not get tickets. Sad.

That IS sad! It's regrettable that the world situation has changed so much since Pope JP II's visit. I attended his Mass celebrated on the Boston common in 1979, there was a huge crowd, estimated at 400,000! Can't do an open mass like that that today.
What a price we pay for security, financially and mentally. We are less of an open and free society due to radical terrorists who would try to use that setting to cause mass deaths.
