Yesterday in OTB I beat one of the best in the club, then lost two, then won a final and rather decisive rapid game. I need more discipline and I must work on my openings (my weakness).

I saw a video from that ordination. That random bishop of his celebrating Mass At the high altar under the Baldaccino. If I’m not mistaken, the altar is traditionally reserved to the bishop of Rome.
For a moment, I thought the exclamation read “Make Francis Catholic Again!” Sorry, my error. Regardless of my error, I am praying for him.
@VQTD:
Cardinals and Bishops can get special permission to celebrate Mass at that altar. It is quite rare, but not unheard of.

You weren’t the only one!
If you’re a fan of Keats, may I recommend Galway Kinnell’s poem “Oatmeal (When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone)” to you? The narrator shares a bowl with Keats. A fun read.
