Celtic_cross_1So, the prediction today is for a high of 70 degrees Farenheit, and we're having a conversation that includes the word "chilly." Reading an amusing blog from Winnipeg. We conclude this little vignette sums up the conjunction of "cosmopolitan" and "spoiled."

Remarkable Celtic crosses, though pictures of Ireland add "damp" to the "chilly" tag.

Via Amy Welborn, who also has a memento of the Pope as a probing young scholar and loyal friend.

Update: From her link, a LentenMunich_corpus_christi_2 image. Corpus Christi Procession winds through a bombed, ruined Munich.

It's a site where we also learn that enthusiastic fans of the Bavarian Benedict XVI denominate themselves Benaddicts.
