Here it is Monday again and time for another guest post from Slim Randles since I have nothing to write about. The news, along current affairs, are just too depressing. Plus, I’ve been sick for a week. UGH! I sure wish Slim had been a contributor to newspapers and blogs way back when I did

So, the other morning I’m getting dressed while listening to a podcast, and I hear the journalist reference a woman in labor as, “Extruding a baby. ” Not sure what I’d heard, I dropped the shoe I was about to put on and rewound 30 seconds to listen again. Sure enough instead of talking about

First I just want to say how happy I am with the news of the new Pope for the Roman Catholic Church. He appears to be somewhat like Pope Francis in his humbleness and attention to pastoral matters, rather than bureaucracy.
