Joe

Argh! I ran into Joe yet again today at the cigar store. Before I knew it I agreed to have a beer and pizza with him one day. And gave him my cell number. Then he's talking about how he's getting a divorce -- tried to get the paperwork today but the courthouse was out. WTF? First -- I don't want any relationship or anything. No friends with benefits or any of that crap. I am happy by MYSELF. Second, he's been asking me out since Allen and I were divorced four and a half years ago -- and he's not single? Good thing I'm not interested in a relationship and I'm so glad I never encouraged anything. God! Anyway we need to have a little talk. I have to explain that the only thing that will come out of this is a friendship. Nothing more. And hopefully he'll not pursue it. I wish I'd never given him my number. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! And more history -- I have to see how many popes I've lived through. And this is only the second in the history of Christdom that one has resigned. Tonight was his last night. We will be without a pope until they elect a new one. I wonder what we do without a pope? I don't remember. And do the cardinals elect a new one politically or does the Holy Spirit still do it?
