So, the conclave starts today.
Curiously enough, if it had started a few days earlier, the Cake Eater Chronicles would have had its very own cub reporter. My sister ML, who celebrates her fiftieth birthday today, is on a celebratory trip to Italy as I write this. (Yep. Fifteen years separate us on the timeline that is our family. There's less of an age span between her kids and myself. Wacky Catholics!) If they'd started the conclave on Saturday, well, let's just say that I would have shot that girl over to Vatican City faster than you can lick a stamp. Even if she was jetlagged as all hell.
The Cake Eater Chronicles: There's absolutely no limit to the amount of discomfort I'll put my siblings through to entertain and inform you, my devoted Cake Eater readers.
Heh.
Alas, however, she and her fellow travelers have left Rome for the more enjoyable evirons of Tuscany. (Grrrr.) Too bad, so sad and all that jazz. I'm sure she's thankful I never even bothered to ask.
Anyway, I digress, as usual. The reason for this post was to show all you heretics the way to the latest odds. Paddypower, an Irish online betting house, has set up popebetting.com They'll be updating the odds regularly.
Enjoy!
