We're home in Florida after a 1,900 mile drive in Dave's Camry. The last couple of days I've been entertaining him by sharing articles in The New Yorker. As you know, it's my favorite magazine.
This week's "Shouts and Murmurs," by frequent contributor, Paul Rudnick, is very funny. As you know, the Pope tweeted for the first time a while back.

Nancy Grace: perfect name for a gay Pope.
If you want to read more, pick up a copy of the July 25th New Yorker.
