Dead ones and the living

[sovay]

I slept twenty minutes last night and all of them were nightmares. I write this e-mail from a dentist's office in Davis Square, where after an hour derspatchel is finally being seen for the filling that disintegrated on Monday night (it is that kind of week). I appear to have just watched the Pope abdicate on CNN. I've had better-starting mornings.

(Probably so has the Pope, but I bet he isn't tired enough to hallucinate movement in the brickwork across the street.)

[edit] I still really keep hoping for an antipope. I know it's not going to happen. I'm just saying.

I like to think some saints might have. Particularly Francis; Lawrence was supposed to have had a sense of humour, as well. I don't know if either of them could make paper airplanes, though. When did paper-airplane/dart technology develop?

Paper darts were around in the 18th century. There is a story of schoolboys lodging them in their schoolmaster's wig. "The culprit was inftantly fummoned, and made no other defence, than that they flipt out of his hand, and he did not go to do it."
