Title: My father, the Pope
Product review: Almost from the moment the title story of Rose Madeline Mula's delightful collection of witty and sometimes rueful observations of life in the slow lane, The Stranger In My Mirror, appeared online in Senior Women Web (under the title The Stranger In My House) it was a legend in its own time. Thousands of Senior Women readers e-mailed it to friends (that is how I was introduced to it) and one sent it to the late Ann Landers without attribution. Landers was so taken with it she published it in her column (she quickly acknowledged that Mula was the author as soon she learned of it). "Stranger" is but one of over 40 short pieces of Mula's wry, self-deprecating (but no less wise) slant on even the most ordinary events. Although the one about her father, who looked just like Pope John Paul II and was co-winner of a look-alike contest in vestments that included a yarmulke borrowed from a Jewish neighbor, is hardly ordinary.
