If the Dalai Lama is in the United States, then there's a good chance I'll run into members of his entourage and maybe his Holiness soon. Any diplomatic or cultural excursion to the US he makes is usually an excuse to visit his brother who runs the slightly-more-successful of two Tibetan restaurants in this city. That's really not an exaggeration.

And while I've seen the pope three times already, it's never been this particular one so I'm kind of torn about the chance to end my 8-year dry run of papal attendances.

Don King- "Okay Pope, how 'bout this: You and the Dalai Lama at Madison Square Gardens?"
JPII- "He doesn't have a PRAYER!"

Man, I miss The Critic.
