I'm reduced to spending too much time reading blogs and trying to stir up trouble for amusement. <br /><br />See my message to David below:<br /><br />Blogger John said...<br /><br /> Gee, too bad I'm not a blogger else I'd love to be there.<br /><br /> Are you thinking of going Mr. Vox? If so, don't get taken in by any of this "new media/technology skype virtual reality is just as good as being there" nonsense. Nothing beats actually being there in the flesh.<br /><br /> It would be great if you were in attendance if only to see the sparks fly when you and your arch - nemesis, Hilary Jane Margaret White came into contact.<br /><br /> Because of the JPII beatification on May 1st, accommodations will be hard to come by. I can give you the address of a neat little hotel just outside of Rome in Santa Marinella very convenient to the train station that takes you right into Rome if you want.<br /><br /> John Vicente,<br /> (not one of the cool kids)Santahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714804998050256933noreply@blogger.com
