Pope Francis falls short in many areas, not least, with me, women's equality. But, I have to admit that he is a breath of fresh air from those who have come before. May he remain safe, healthy and continue to evolve (progressively) in his thinking.

the guys are proud of what they have made. that's such an important feeling to have self worth. kudos to them. It gives them great skills too. crafts like these use math, art, logic, aesthetics.... a lot of different areas of the brain. and patience. and assuming they did it as a team is an added plus that they did it together. this makes me happy.
