Cardinal Dolan decided to give me a ring fresh out of the papal conclave

So, now, pay attention.Little Mother has another wee saga to share — lest you think I just lead a dull boring existence.Phone rings.
Being on another long boring conversation, I can’t answer it. Eva, Spanish, our household’s newest addition, shouts into the receiver, “Who you are?”The person responds.She says, “Who?” The unseen voice repeats it.

She comes back with: “Name’s Ytraghkkplywsy.”Me, cranky, I grab the phone and snarl into it: “Enough with you already.Who are you?”The pleasant tempered voice then says nicely: “It’s Cardinal Dolan.”He just helped elect Chicago’s Robert Prevost as the new Pope Leo XIV and my housekeeper wants to know who he is.New York, New York.
Tops in everything.Noise, taxes, traffic, scaffolding, sightseeing, mayors, bagels, arrivals sleeping on the streets.
