I was at work watching the coverage on a small black and white TV set up at my desk. I\u2019m not sure why I didn\u2019t just have it streaming online \u2013 there was internet 7 years ago right? Maybe I didn\u2019t know about EWTN or Catholic media since I was still in RCIA. I guess I didn\u2019t have access to top secret Vatican websites only privy to full fledged card carrying Papists or something like that. <\/p>\nAnyway, I followed the coverage for days, much to the annoyance of my co-workers. If memory recalls, I jumped out of my chair and gave the touch down sign followed by an end zone dance when they called Joseph Ratzinger\u2019s name. I\u2019ve been referred to as \u201cthat crazy Catholic\u201d ever since. But that\u2019s ok, I like being the token papist. <\/p>\nWhere were you when you heard those words, Habemus papem? <\/p>\nThings I am going to do to celebrate: Make a cake and drink German beer, even though I don\u2019t need an excuse for cake.
