[My comments] are in brackets embedded in the press release.

The Archdiocese of Washington released information regarding the Pope’s visit to Washington, DC on April 15 through 18. [Members of the DC police force are so very excited to all be able to work extended over-time hours on Emancipation Day. I am so sure ;) ]

Today, Wednesday, April 16, the Popemobile motorcade will travel west along Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the papal residence on Observatory Circle. The motorcade will depart at approximately 12:00 noon. [I, however, will NOT be at either one of these locations nor at any location along Pennsylvania Ave. If you would like to share a wave with me or possibly even touch me (a handshake Bad!) you will need to come to 800 K St. NW. Look up to the 11th floor windows, 20th window on the left on the north side. Smile. Wave. Although you will not be able to see me waving back because the windows are one way. For the handshake encounter, send me a txt. Donations will be expected accepted. Duh?] Later, at approximately 5:15 pm, the Popemobile motorcade will travel north along 4th Street, NE, from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. [I will be at my home during this papal parade.] Please note that the west side of 4th Street will be available for public viewing. [Actually, I cross the west side of 4th Street 5 days a week and can attest that it is available for public viewing pretty much all the time.]

Rolling road closures will affect the following streets:
Pennsylvania Avenue from 17th Street Northwest to Rock Creek Parkway: 11:00 am to12:30 pm
Cross streets one block north and one block south of Pennsylvania Avenue: 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
Rock Creek Parkway from Pennsylvania Avenue to Waterside Drive (Massachusetts Avenue): 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
Massachusetts Avenue from Columbia Avenue to Observatory Circle (South): 11:30am to 12:30 pm
[If you work along these streets and normally like to go out for lunch, well, sucks to be you!]

[Finally, if you have a question for the Pope and you would like me to elbow my way through the crowd to do a SHOUT-OUT, just let me know. Remember to keep it short. And bear in mind, I do charge for this service. I don't actually do it, but I do charge for it none the less.]
