Day Off, But Fireworks Tomorrow

I'm taking the day off to clear my desk of dozens of odd jobs, none of which will change the universe appreciably. I did learn that you can transfer balances from a pile of half-used Starbucks cards on to one card. My wallet now folds again. Tomorrow, on "Sacramental Saturday" I will address the remarks by Pope Francis yesterday on valid marriages, which has caused quite a kerfuffle in some quarters. The pope's timing in our blog series couldn't be better, but I doubt it was planned that way.
