« Upcoming essay | Main | A Benedict XVI chair? »

Morning commute

Are we really so illiterate as a city that the Daily News has to call Pope Benedict "the 16th" instead of "XVI"? God. (Reminds me of the joke, c. 1992, about the upper crusty couple who go out to see that new Spike Lee film—Malcolm the 10th.)

In other news, apparently spring in New York City is over, and we missed most of it on our weekend jaunt to Texas. High of 88 today!
