Seriously worried about the Pope.

[tavernier]

Long about 11 a.m. I would have said to hubby (and I'm ten years younger than the Pope)... Honey, I'm all in. Can I just have lunch, a nice cocktail and a nap? Watch the news and maybe give it full speed ahead tomorrow?

Do they not realize that he is almost 80?

I am fifty pounds under his weight, ten years his junor, used to a very active lifestyle... And still I can't imagine the schedule they have planned for him!!

1. Did you know he only has one intact lung?

At the age of 21 he got pneumonia and they had to remove a major portion of one.

Doesn't seem to slow him down.

We live inside the heavy security zone here in Philadelphia. Half the roads are closed and there are soldiers and emergency crews Everywhere.

He'll be fine.

4. Did not know that.

Wow!

Good luck to you today... I detest traffic and it must be crazy for you right now.

9. No traffic whatsoever. Pedestrians and bicyclists have taken the streets over.

I went on an organized fun ride this morning around Philly.

2500+ riders, so I guess there was traffic of a sort.

2. I agree.

I wonder who set up that schedule?

5. Yeah, what was the rush?

They couldn't give him a day in between to take a nice sit down bus tour around the town? Get a massage and pedicure at Macy's?

3. He look exhausted at the mass yesterday

He was visibly tired and leaned on an aide to climb the few steps up to the altar. He then leaned on the altar. I saw him lean on things for support several times during the mass. My friends and I all thought he looked exhausted.

6. And what is it with all the masses?

Most American Catholics are Christmas Easter Christians anyway. One mass per city should have been plenty! 😄

7. he'll be ok

8. In all the hubbub, do you think anyone will get the Pope

a cheesesteak?

10. He also took a couple of stumbles

up the steps to the plane this a.m. I have to wonder why he didn't hold up that robe a little. That thing's a trip hazard.
