There do seem to be very credible allegations however that now-Francis did withdraw protection of the church from two Jesuits under his chain of command, allowing the Argentinian military to kidnap and torture them.

Whereas his argument was that he interceded with the military on their behalf, possibly saving their lives. Frankly, I don't think we'll ever know for sure.

Yeah, given Argentina at the time, I'm going to have to say that, from all I've read, it's complicated, and that his responses appear to have attempted to be pragmatic to the point of resembling triage.

Lesser Evil does appear to fit him well.

Facilitate?

Having actually typed out slides that cover the training I just had (he seems to be fixated on that--I PMed for years before my first official course, and my first course was in 2002. And it was a UCLA extension course, not this two day business seminar.

Trying to decide what's my angle--project management in general, project management as these guys taught it, or "things that came up that I haven't seen here". I have 20 slides already, so winnowing is job 1.

I have no Djimon Hounsou at work but I did get a couple of weeks with Jimmy Smits not too long ago.

My office smells like bacon. Ew. I wish my crew would eat in the green room.

I brought in pie, and then someone else brought in doughnuts. And today was a birthday lunch day, so there was Graeter's. AND because Panera screwed up our order TWICE, they gave us a huge box of danishes and scones and other pastries.

I look forward to our group discount on insulin and needles.

I don't think I am observing Pi Day this year. Unless eating a tortilla as part of my lunch counts (because it is round and therefore has a circumference and diameter...)

My mom had a hysterectomy scheduled for this morning, and my dad promised he would call when she was out of surgery, but it's nearly 3pm on the East Coast and still no call. And my dad doesn't have a cell phone, and my mom does but never uses it. I'm going to assume everything is fine because I have no particular reason to assume otherwise, but damn, I would really like to get that phone call already.

that is not just WOE, but WOAH! How could anyone not give you Djimon Hounsou OR pie?

When come back, bring Djimon

I'm just saying, if I have a choice between him or pie, well...

You might try calling the hospital, Kate. They could tell you if she's been moved to a room.

And once again, posting makes it happen! Just got the call from my dad, and he says everything went well. Phew.
