Woo-woo! We get national coverage

My son, Christopher, just emailed me to tell me that a page of "Times Topics" (New York Times, February 1, 2008) devoted to Pope Benedict XVI, has a section entitled "Headlines Around the Web," which carries five links, the last two of which are to posts on his and my blogs.

I dunno. I've never felt this way before. Of course, I've never been even remotely connected with the New York Times. I think it's all going to my head. I suddenly have this feeling of ... HOPE! Yes, we CAN do it! I wonder if President Obama would even shake my hand now! The possibilities are endless! Now, at last, I really count for something in this world!! Dare one hope: maybe even ... Al Gore ... would sign his autograph for me now!!!
