I get to see the Pope!
Tomorrow night, I'm headed to New York for two days of Pope indulgences. First, we see him arrive at St. Patrick's Cathedral, then the motorcade, then we can to go Yonkers if we want, but two other reporters are covering that. The following day, we're off to the Mass at Yankee Stadium. This is so exciting! I'm so glad we went into the city with Ellen and Karl - otherwise, I'd be terrified, but I do think we can figure this out. Thankfully, Lois (one of the best reporters I've ever seen and a person who is comfortable with New York) will be with me, as I'm the photographer for this deal. I'm seriously thinking of a "golly-gee I'm a hick from the sticks" column for this week. If I can do it with humor, it might be OK.
Let me know if you want any pope memorabilia, as I'm intending to purchase mugs and such. What fun!
