Habemus Papam

I was blessed to be able to watch the announcement and appearance of our new pope, Leo XIV, with my students yesterday. When the announcer said he is an American, you could have knocked us all over like bowling pins. Cheers erupted when he appeared on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. For myself, when Pope Leo gave the urbi et orbi (to the city and the world) blessing, I felt a wave of peace and hope fill my heart and soul. 

Concerning Korea Dreambus -- I'm neck deep in my footage, naming and organizing clips that I will want to use. I have a hard deadline of May 26 as I will be meeting with my editor in Buffalo that day to transfer footage and go over Davinci Resolve. I've also put a call out for a music composer(s) to work on Korea Dreambus, so hopefully that will bear fruit.

It just happens to be an overly busy month at my other jobs, as well as one of my side-hustles, so it will be an interesting few weeks.

But no matter! This is how we get things done. And I feel a new breeze blowing through - a springtime breeze (even though it still feels like winter in Rochester) - a new pope and a new hope.

Viva il Papa!
