Carolina Cannonball is one of my faves and The Crescat<\/a> is always a fun stop. And you know, since we\u2019ve been talking headcoverings<\/a> on and off for the past few weeks<\/a>, you will probably want to go look at her pictures of Princess Grace<\/a> and Jackie Kennedy<\/a> and others<\/a> wearing lace mantillas because Miss Cannonball has decided that, since last week was \u201ctonsure week\u201d<\/a>, this week we\u2019d see the women\u2019s head-coverings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But all of that is nothing to me. I don\u2019t care, I don\u2019t care<\/em>. Yes, the mantillas are lovely. Who cares?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, I said, who cares?<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that she has teased us with not one but two pictures<\/strong>, I want a Knights of Malta Week<\/em>, and I want it right now!<\/p>\n

I think I have confessed a few times to my weakness for the olive-skinned lads<\/a>. Yes, I dearly love the fellas in the kilts, but\u2026well, for cryin\u2019 out loud, see for yourself!<\/p>\n

\nAh, Giancarlo! He just has to be a Giancarlo!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\nMustn\u2019t lurk in doorways, lad; have a cappuccino\u2026<\/a><\/em>
\n
\nNow, don\u2019t get me wrong, this is not an occasion of sin.<\/strong> Or, maybe it\u2019s a little<\/em> occasion of sin, because I\u2019m maybe objectifying these men, but\u2026shouldn\u2019t we be able to gaze at the beauty of God\u2019s creation? And besides, all I want to do is have a cup of coffee<\/a> and look at them. And besides, the second fellow, he looks enough like my brother-in-law that he could be family!<\/p>\n

But that other fellow! Looking at Giancarlo<\/em>\u2026that\u2019s a couple of Hail Mary\u2019s right there.<\/p>\n

Maybe an Angelus.<\/p>\n

A trip to Lourdes\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
