Not an Easy Task

Every time I pull up Blogger, the Wife gets nervous that I'm going to make her "look like an idiot." Really, that's not my intent with this. I only have so much source material, though, and I simply feel like sharing the things that have us rolling with laughter. She asked if I could possibly make her look smart, which she most certainly is. It's just that her mouth does sometimes operate without guidance from higher, so to speak. There are many things that she understands far better than I, Church history apparently being one of them.

We were driving through northern Italy last week, passing the city of Trent. Always trying to impress with my knowledge of trivia, I pointed out: "Look. Trent. They had a council there." That really was the extent of my knowledge on the Council of Trent, and I expected no response in particular.

From the passenger side of the car came a rather dry and matter-of-fact: "Didn't accomplish much."

Humbled, I pretended to be really focused on the Autostrada, not wanting to betray my ignorance on the matter.

Love you, hon.
