So This Happened Today ...

Imagine my surprise when I looked down at the sink this morning as I prepared to shave ...


Don't see anything amiss?  Look closer.


Yes, there was a death's head skull staring up and me from the drain of my sink.  Somehow, the toothpaste residue from the night before had dried in that fashion.

I don't think that this is a sign of good look.  In fact, this has been a week of strange omens for me.  First, the new Pope is announced, and he chose to take the name of my brother (not the brother I would have guessed, mind you).  Now, my bathroom sink wishes me dead.

Hopefully you will check in on me from time-to-time over the coming days to make sure all is well.

Speaking of the new Pope ...

Does anybody else think it is strange when the media refers to Pope Francis as the "First Pope from the New World?"  I think it is time for the Italians to get over the whole Christopher Columbus thing.  1492 was a long time ago.  There isn't very much that is still new on this side of the Atlantic.
